The bill amends Section 2 of Act 99-219 from the 1999 Regular Session, which pertains to the fees for the service of process in civil matters by the sheriff's office in Tuscaloosa County. The new language specifies that, in addition to existing charges, a fee of sixty dollars ($60) will be assessed for each document personally served by the sheriff's office, replacing the previous fee increase of twelve dollars and fifty cents ($12.50). The bill also clarifies that this fee does not apply to civil documents issued by the circuit court or mental health documents from the probate judge. Furthermore, it establishes that three dollars from each fee collected will be retained by the circuit clerk's office or the office of the judge of probate for operational purposes, with the remaining balance being split equally between the Sheriff's Law Enforcement Fund and the Solicitor's Fund of the District Attorney.

Additionally, the bill repeals Section 3 of Act 99-219, which related to contracting for service of process by the county. The changes outlined in the bill are set to take effect on June 1, 2024.
