HB1872

House Bill 1872 amends Arkansas Code § 21-6-307(a) to update the fee structure for services performed by county sheriffs. The primary change is the inclusion of language specifically authorizing sheriffs to collect a $30.00 fee for the attempted service of various legal documents, including summons, subpoenas, writs of injunction, and notices to vacate. Previously, the law primarily listed fees for successful service; this amendment clarifies that the fee applies regardless of whether the service is successfully completed or merely attempted. The bill maintains existing fees for other duties, such as executing warrants, attending court trials, and advertising property sales. These changes are intended to standardize the compensation for the time and resources expended by sheriff's offices during attempts to serve legal process.
