HB666 creates a solicitor's fee in Wilcox County civil cases that funds the Solicitor's Fund and District Attorney's Fund, with part distributed to the Circuit Clerk salients.
It imposes a solicitor's fee in all Wilcox County civil cases equal to the docket fee or costs that would go to the Fair Trial Tax Fund. The collected fee is distributed monthly: $5 from each case goes to the Circuit Clerk's Office, and the remaining amount goes to the solicitor's or district attorney's fund in the county or as prescribed by law. The funds can be used by the district attorney for expenses and law enforcement, and the portion going to the Circuit Clerk can be used for lawful purposes at the Clerk's request.
