HB630 changes how the solicitor's fee is calculated and distributed in Macon County, tying it to docket fees that fund the Fair Trial Tax Fund and directing funds to county and local court offices and training.
The bill amends how the solicitor's fee is set and disbursed in Macon County. It requires a docket fee called the solicitor's fee to be assessed in juvenile, traffic, criminal, and quasi-criminal cases, with monthly distributions: $3 to the Macon County Circuit Clerk, $3 from the Notasulga Municipal Court to the Town of Notasulga for training and education of the Notasulga Court Clerk and Magistrate, and the remaining amount to the Solicitor's Fund or District Attorney's Fund in the county. The solicitor's fee amount is equal to all docket fees or court costs that are assessed upon a guilty verdict and distributed to the Fair Trial Tax Fund, and these funds must be expended in Macon County.
