The bill establishes new fees related to the services provided by the Limestone County Sheriff's Office, specifically for the civil division of the circuit and district courts. It introduces a service of process fee of up to $50 for personal service of documents and up to $75 for services related to matters outside the state. Additionally, a fingerprint fee of up to $60 will be charged for non-law enforcement fingerprinting, and a local background check fee of up to $20 will be implemented. The fees will be set by the sheriff with the approval of the county commission and will be collected by the court clerk, with revenues directed to the Limestone County Sheriff's Law Enforcement Fund.
Furthermore, the bill imposes a booking fee of $30 on individuals booked into the Limestone County Jail who are subsequently convicted of a crime. This fee will be collected alongside court costs and will be used for law enforcement purposes as determined by the sheriff. The bill also ratifies any fees collected prior to its enactment and exempts certain entities, such as the district attorney and law enforcement, from these fees. The act will take effect on the first day of the third month following its passage and approval by the Governor.
