OAG 77-775 is cited to support the interpretation of the statutory provisions regarding the payment of filing fees by the Commonwealth. It clarifies that the $70 filing fee in civil cases is not an 'advanced filing fee' but a general service fee, and it emphasizes that the Commonwealth is not mandatorily required to pay such fees unless approved by the court. This citation is used to illustrate the discretionary nature of cost payments by the Commonwealth under KRS 453.010, reinforcing the argument that the Commonwealth may, but is not required to, pay costs.
