Important News for Sheriffs, Marshals and Constables that Receive and Serve Civil Process. There has been a change to the Fee Schedule. It is "buried" in a massive law that was signed into law by Governor Perdue on May 12, 2010 and became effective on the date that the law was signed. It is HB 1055, "Drivers' Licenses; Fees for Temporary Licenses or Identification cards; change."
**** Service fee changes can be found in "SECTION 1-43." which amends certain sections of O.C.G.A. § 15-16-21. **** The link to the Bill is: http://www.legis.state.ga.us/legis/2009_10/fulltext/hb1055.htm

The Association was formed after several Deputy Sheriffs and Deputy Marshals "kicked" the idea around for several years during casual conversation. On March 27, 2001 an organizational meeting was held in Gwinnett County to see if there was enough interest in the Law Enforcement Community to form an association. 42 people showed up. The name was selected and a Steering Committee was formed. Quarterly training sessions were held throughout the year. Meeting attendance has exceeded 150 on several occasions!
On January 1, 2010 The Georgia Civil Process Association became a Division of the Georgia Sheriffs' Association, Inc.® (GCPA). See the Advisory Board Link for more information.
