GEORGIA CODE (LAW) & COURT RULES

 

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
