The bill establishes a service of process fee for the Talladega County Sheriff's Office, specifically for the service or attempted service of certain documents related to matters pending in courts outside the State of Alabama. The fee structure includes a charge of fifty dollars ($50) for general service and one hundred dollars ($100) for service to inmates at the federal correctional institution in Talladega. The fees collected will be remitted directly to the sheriff for deposit into a separate official account, which is not to diminish or offset the sheriff's budgeted funds. The sheriff will have discretion over the expenditure of these funds for law enforcement purposes.
Additionally, the bill exempts certain entities, including the district attorney, law enforcement, grand juries, and Talladega County itself, from the payment of these service fees. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage. The new legal language includes the establishment of the service of process fee and the creation of a separate account for the sheriff, while no deletions from current law are specified in the text provided.
