The 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. It establishes a fee of sixty dollars ($60) for each document personally served, with the definition of "document" expanded to include multiple papers served at once. Notably, the bill removes the exemption for civil documents issued by the circuit court and mental health documents previously specified in the law. Additionally, it stipulates 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 costs, while the remaining fees will be split between the Sheriff's Law Enforcement Fund and the Solicitor's Fund of the District Attorney.

Furthermore, the bill introduces a higher fee of eighty-five dollars ($85) for documents requested for personal service from outside the state, with the same distribution of funds as outlined for in-state documents. The act is set to take effect on June 1, 2026. The revisions made in this bill are primarily technical and nonsubstantive, aimed at updating the language to current standards while clarifying the fee structure for service of process in Tuscaloosa County.
