2020 Arkansas Code|Title 16 - Practice, Procedure, And Courts|Subtitle 2 - Courts and Court Officers|Chapter 10 - General Provisions|Subchapter 3 - Uniform Filing Fees and Court Costs|§ 16-10-301. Legislative intent

 (a) It is hereby found by the General Assembly that the current system of funding the state judicial system has created inequity in the level of judicial services available to the citizens of the state. It is further determined that the current method of financing the state judicial system has become so complex as to make the administration of the system impossible. Finally, it is determined that the lack of any reliable data on the current cost of the state judicial system prohibits any comprehensive change in the funding of the system at this time.  (b) It is, therefore, the intent of this act to eliminate the current system of collecting and assessing a large number of individual court costs and filing fees, to replace it with uniform costs and fees to be applied statewide, and to prohibit the implementation of new costs and fees for specific programs in the future.
