The resolution establishes the Joint Interim Study Commission on Court Costs in Alabama to address the inconsistencies in court costs across the state. The commission aims to create a standardized and transparent set of court costs that would benefit the state. It will consist of various members, including legislative leaders, judges, district attorneys, practicing attorneys, and representatives from relevant associations, ensuring a diverse representation that reflects the state's demographics.
The commission is tasked with studying court costs and making recommendations for uniformity, with the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Alabama serving as the chair. The commission is required to report its findings and proposed legislation to the Legislature by the fifth legislative day of the 2026 Regular Session, after which it will be dissolved. Administrative support will be provided by the House of Representatives and the Legislative Services Agency, and members will be compensated according to their respective roles.
