This bill establishes the Marion County Service of Process Fund, which will be created within the county treasury to facilitate the service of process for legal documents, excluding arrest warrants. The Sheriff of Marion County is authorized to contract with various entities for this service. Additionally, the bill mandates that a service of process fee of fifty dollars ($50) be collected by the clerk, sheriff, or other appropriate court officials in both the criminal and civil divisions of the district and circuit courts for each party requiring personal service of process. These fees will be deposited into the newly created fund.

The bill also stipulates that the Marion County Commission has the discretion to use the funds generated for any lawful purpose, and it clarifies that these funds will not replace any existing sources of income for the county or its subdivisions. Furthermore, the district attorney and grand juries are exempt from paying the service of process fees. The act is set to take effect on October 1, 2025.
