HB79 creates a $100 service fee for handling Coosa County failure-to-appear warrants, with the money split among law enforcement, the circuit clerk, and the county sheriff's operations.
If passed, the bill adds a $100 charge for the service of all failure-to-appear warrants in Coosa County, to be paid by defendants after conviction. The fee is collected by the circuit court clerk along with other costs, and may be waived for good cause. Revenue from the fee goes to three places: $25 to the Sheriff's Office Law Enforcement Fund, $25 to the circuit court clerk, and $50 to the Coosa County General Fund for sheriff operations and deputy hazardous duty pay. The act becomes law on the first day of the third month after it is approved by the Governor.
Assigned Act No. 2018-38.
