19. a. The authority of the Supreme Court to revise or supplement filing fees and other statutory fees payable to the court pursuant to sections 12 and 13 of P.L.2014, c.31 (C.2B:1-7 and C.2B:1-8) shall expire on the first day of the seventh month next following the date of enactment of those sections, except that any filing fees and other statutory fees payable to the court that have been revised or supplemented pursuant to those sections shall continue in effect, subject to the provisions of this section.

b. Within 30 days of the fifth anniversary of the effective date of the Rules of Court first adopted pursuant to sections 12 and 13 of P.L.2014, c.31 (C.2B:1-7 and C.2B:1-8), and additionally within 30 days of the tenth anniversary of that effective date, the Court may review all filing fees and other statutory fees revised or supplemented pursuant to sections 12 and 13 of P.L.2014, c.31 (C.2B:1-7 and C.2B:1-8) through its rulemaking process, which includes a reasonable opportunity for public comment, to determine if the fees should remain unchanged as originally adopted pursuant to those sections or be reduced to reflect the funding needs associated with the purposes set forth in section 14 of P.L.2014, c.31 (C.2B:1-9) for which the "21st Century Justice Improvement Fund" provides monies.
