Florida Statutes Title V. Judicial Branch § 28.22205. Electronic filing process

Each clerk of court shall implement an electronic filing process. The purpose of the electronic filing process is to reduce judicial costs in the office of the clerk and the judiciary, increase timeliness in the processing of cases, and provide the judiciary with case-related information to allow for improved judicial case management. The Legislature requests that the Supreme Court set statewide standards for electronic filing to be used by the clerks of court to implement electronic filing. The standards should specify the required information for the duties of the clerks of court and the judiciary for case management. Revenues provided to counties and the clerk of court under s. 28.24(13)(e) for information technology may also be used to implement electronic filing processes.
