This bill amends Section 2 of Act 99-219, which pertains to the fees for service of process in civil matters requiring personal service by the sheriff's office in Tuscaloosa County. The bill establishes a fee of sixty dollars ($60) for each document personally served by the sheriff's office, with the definition of "document" expanded to include multiple papers served simultaneously. Notably, the bill removes the exemption for civil documents issued by the circuit court and mental health documents or orders issued by the probate court, which were previously excluded from the service fee.

Additionally, the bill specifies the distribution of the collected fees, stating that three dollars ($3) from each fee will be retained by the circuit clerk's office or the office of the judge of probate for operational purposes. The remaining balance will be split equally between the Sheriff's Law Enforcement Fund and the Solicitor's Fund of the District Attorney. For documents requested for personal service from outside the state, a higher fee of eighty-five dollars ($85) will be charged, with the same distribution of funds. The act is set to take effect on June 1, 2026.
