RÉSUMÉ DIGEST
ACT 311 (HB 396) 2021 Regular Session Turner
Prior law placed the marshal of the city of Ruston under a separate fee schedule from the
marshals.
New law changes the fees collected by the marshal of the city of Ruston by placing the
marshal within the general fee schedules of marshals and constables (R.S. 13:5807) and by
removing the authority of the marshal of the city of Ruston to collect certain fees and costs
under a separate authority (R.S. 13:5807.5).
New law provides that in accordance with existing law, the increase in court costs or fees as
provided by new law only becomes effective if and when the Judicial Council provides a
favorable recommendation in the Judicial Council 2022 Report to the Louisiana Legislature.
Effective August 1, 2021.
(Amends R.S. 13:5807.5(intro. para.))
