<p>Hi, <br>
</p>
<p>What does it mean by, court filing fees? <br>
</p>
<p>Does that mean that if someone gets in trouble, say through a
DUI, so they would charge the person being convicted with court
fees? <br>
</p>
<p>I'm not sure how this would disproportionaly affect certain
people, from a social / racial / disability justice and equity
standpoint, but, I mean, if it creates funding for the WTBBL
library, it would be great, so long as again there are no other
inequities caused by the court filing fees for people of lowest
incomes. <br>
</p>
<p>Sorry to take this in an off topic direction, but at least I
mentioned WTBBL somewhere which is blindness related, and NFB
related! :( <br>
</p>

filing fees. A portion of the money from those fees would go to
the Secretary of State. The Secretary of State promises to use
some of that money to prevent layoffs at the Washington Talking

layoff some staff is because President Trump cut off the
