Title: Washington Co., Act 2008-491, 2008 Reg, Sess., providing a solicitor's fee repealed
Summary: This bill repeals the Washington County law that allowed a solicitor's fee in criminal cases.
What This Bill Does
If enacted, it repeals the 2008 Act that allowed a solicitor’s fee in criminal cases in Washington County.

Who It Affects
Washington County residents and defendants in Washington County criminal cases — they will not be charged a solicitor's fee under the repealed law.
Washington County government and the county solicitor's office — they lose the authority to collect the solicitor's fee authorized by the repealed act.

Key Provisions
Repeals Act 2008-491 of the 2008 Regular Session (Acts 2008, p. 1070), which previously provided for a solicitor's fee in criminal cases in Washington County.
Provides that the act becomes effective on the first day of the third month following its passage and approval by the Governor, or upon becoming law by other means.
