HB596 would add a $12 court fee in Lowndes County for all civil and criminal cases in the circuit and district courts, with the money going to the Circuit Clerk's Special Account after approval.
It creates a new $12 fee on every civil and every criminal case filed in Lowndes County's circuit or district courts, including traffic and small claims. The collected fee goes into the Circuit Clerk's Special Account and cannot be waived unless all other fees and charges in the case are waived. The rule applies only to Lowndes County and becomes effective on the first day of the third month after the bill gains approval or becomes law.
