GA HB 1055 was recently passed and is awaiting the governor's signature. Unless he vetos it, which I believe is unlikely, one of the fee increases is for copies - from .25 a page to .50 a page. I believe this will go into effect July 1st.
I for one, will not be able to absorb this extra cost. I will have to raise my fees for those who want copies included in fee. I will have to exclude some copies I include for certain products and charge for them at cost. More & more companies are requiring full copies for everything and that gets quite costly. Instead of $20 a day, I will have to front $40. For the most part, my fees haven't increased since 2002, even though gas prices have practically tripled and my E & O has doubled through no fault of my own. As you all know, most want you to decrease your fees. This is it for me! I have no choice but to recover additional copy costs in my fees. I'd like to know what others plan to do. Thanks.
