HB139 would propose a constitutional amendment to allow Choctaw County to let the Legislature fix and change court costs and county officer fees, including service of process, and to ratify prior fee acts.
If approved, the amendment would let the Alabama Legislature, by general or local law, fix, alter, and regulate the costs and charges of court and other fees charged or received by a county officer (such as service of process) in Choctaw County, and designate how those funds are distributed. It would apply only to Choctaw County and would ratify any existing acts authorizing the levy of additional court costs or fees enacted before the amendment’s effective date. An election would be held to ratify the amendment.
