Bill > SB150

This bill amends existing Alabama law regarding court fees, specifically changing how a portion of the docket fees collected in municipal courts is handled. Currently, a $10 portion of the municipal court docket fee is retained by the presiding municipal judge or clerk for the operation of the municipal court. This bill proposes to remove that provision and instead direct that $10 of each municipal court fee to be deposited into the State General Fund, meaning it will go to the state's main operating budget rather than being used directly by the local municipal court. The bill also specifies that this change will take effect on October 1, 2026.
