The proposed bill would amend current statutes regarding fees for writs issued on behalf of a justice of the peace and the calculation of constable mileage. Specifically, it would increase the maximum fee for a writ from $5 to $10, as established by the county board of supervisors. Additionally, the calculation of mileage for constables would change to start from the office of the justice of the peace in the precinct they serve, rather than from the office originating the civil action.

Furthermore, the bill includes a requirement for enactment that necessitates an affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the members of each house of the legislature. It would become effective immediately upon the governor's signature or, in the event of a veto, upon a subsequent affirmative vote of at least three-fourths of the members of each house.
