Summary

The law lets the Talladega County Sheriff's Office collect a $50 fee for serving or attempting to serve legal papers in cases that will be heard outside Alabama, and a $100 fee when the service is to an inmate at the federal prison in Talladega. The clerk of the court collects the fee and deposits it into a special sheriff’s account that is separate from the county budget. The fees can be spent on law‑enforcement activities, but certain government entities are exempt from paying.
