This bill pertains to Wilcox County and seeks to amend Section 9 of Act 2022-279 from the 2022 Regular Session, specifically addressing the fees associated with the mailing of motor vehicle license decals or license plates and other probate documents by the judge of probate. The amendment allows the county commission to establish a "Mail Order Fee" of up to three dollars ($3) to cover the costs of mailing the renewal application for a motor vehicle license. Additionally, the bill permits the county commission to set an extra fee, not exceeding a total of ten dollars ($10), for licensees who request to receive their license plate or decal by priority mail. These fees are to be collected at the time of issuance and paid into the county's general fund.
Furthermore, the bill introduces a provision that enables the judge of probate to charge up to five dollars ($5) for mailing any other probate document. The legal language changes include the insertion of clauses to specify the additional fees and the option for priority mail, as well as the deletion of the singular term "fee" to be replaced with the plural "fees" to reflect the new fee structure. The act is set to become effective on October 1, 2024.
