This bill amends Section 9 of Act 2022-279 concerning the judge of probate's authority to charge fees for mailing motor vehicle license renewal applications and other probate documents in Wilcox County. The new provisions allow the county commission to establish a "Mail Order Fee" not exceeding three dollars ($3) for the mailing of renewal applications. Additionally, if a licensee requests to receive their license plate or decal via priority mail, the county commission may impose an additional fee, bringing the total possible fee to ten dollars ($10). The fees collected will be managed by the judge of probate and directed to the county's general fund.
Furthermore, the bill introduces a new provision allowing the judge of probate to charge up to five dollars ($5) for mailing any other probate documents. This amendment aims to streamline the process and provide a clear structure for the associated fees, ensuring that the costs of mailing are adequately covered. The act is set to take effect on October 1, 2024.
