The recall is at the discretion of the municipal judge or magistrate, and the city is not required to recall every warrant. Fees collected go to the City of Fultondale Corrections Fund, and the act becomes law immediately after the governor signs, repealing conflicting laws.

• Individuals who have a failure-to-appear warrant for a municipal ordinance violation in the City of Fultondale would owe a $100 fee if their warrant is recalled.
• The City of Fultondale Municipal Court and its judges and magistrates, who would collect the fee, decide whether to recall warrants, and manage the Corrections Fund.

Key Provisions

• Allows recall of a failure-to-appear warrant arising from municipal ordinance violations to be accompanied by a $100 recall fee, payable at the time of recall, with recall at the discretion of the judge or magistrate.
• Requires all recall fees to be deposited into the City of Fultondale Corrections Fund and allocated under Section 11-47-7.1; the act also repeals conflicting laws and becomes effective immediately after governor approval.
