A broad range of new fees, assessments and penalties will be charged for services in Solano County Superior Court in accordance with state law, beginning Jan. 1.
According to the court's Executive Office, the fee changes are the result of the passage of Senate Bill 1407, which authorizes up to $5 billion in lease-revenue bonds top finance construction, renovation and replacement of California court facilities.
Unlimited civil filing fees (in cases over $25,000), as well as probate and family law filings, will go from $320 to $350, with the $30 increase going to the immediate and critical needs account of the State Court Facility Construction Fund.
Limited civil filings ($10,000 to $25,000) fees will go from $300 to $325, while civil filings in cases up to $10,000 will go from $180 to $200.
Miscellaneous probate and family law fees will go from $180 to $200.

Let's fix the system first and then the buildings.
I can't see the need here. Courts don't have to be elaborate. The money could be spent elsewhere and do good for the community.
In these trying times, there are many people just looking for their next meal.
That should be the priority.
Fix the system? I say throw the system out and start from square #1.
I think contractors are getting their payback for their campaign contributions. That's how this works - pay to play - follow the dots to Impeached Governor Blago in IL.
Always follow the $ and the votes and you will get your answer.
"The need" isn't seen by many b/c many haven't been to the far stretches of California to see delapidated courthouses and the courthouses made out of trailers, or counties where jurors wait all day outside, under shade trees (when the luxury of a shade tree is available), or they have to seek medical attn post-trial because of the back pains they get after sitting in a folding chair 7 hours a day for three weeks. Those that "don't see", typically don't have the experience, or simply don't seek. Learn more: http://easylink.playstream.com/aocstream/occm_kf_1.wvx
Spend the money on FIXING the Corrupt Probate court system. Those theiving Guardians and Probate Judges should pay out of their OWN pockets with all the money they've stolen from elderly victims. PERPS!
