Committee updates clerk-fee resolution after state added $5 filing fee

DuPage County Judicial and Public Safety Committee · August 18, 2026

Summary

Committee approved an updated resolution for the circuit court clerk after a late state statutory change added a $5 fee to filing and appearance fees for civil case filings; county staff said the 2021 resolution required revision to reflect the new law.

Members discussed an amendment to a clerk-of-the-circuit-court resolution to reflect a recent state statutory change that added a $5 fee to filing fees and appearance fees for civil case filings. Kevin Vaske identified himself on the record and explained the change was added late in a shell bill; the county was updating a 2021 resolution to reflect the new statutory language.

"...the $5 fee was added to filing fees and appearance fees for civil case filings," Vaske said when explaining the background. The committee moved and approved the amendment; no further conditions were placed on the clerk's update during the meeting.
