Committee considers change to traveling probate judge reimbursement (SB 302)
Summary
A committee substitute to Senate Bill 302 clarifies that reimbursement for traveling probate judges can be paid by parties or charged to the estate; the committee laid out the substitute and left the bill pending.
Senate Bill 302, a measure concerning reimbursement for traveling probate judges, was presented as a committee substitute and laid out before the Committee on Jurisprudence. The original bill required the state to reimburse counties for costs of traveling probate judges; the committee substitute clarifies that a probate judge may order that reimbursement costs be paid by the parties or by the estate.
Senator Middleton, explaining the substitute, said it "clarifies that the probate judge can order the reimbursement cost be paid by the parties or the estate." The committee laid out the substitute and left the bill pending; members noted the substitute could be adopted when a quorum is present and that the substitute will be further considered at a later time.
No public testimony was recorded on the substitute during the hearing; the committee recessed after completing its laid-out business.
