HB 396 2021 Regular Session Turner
COURTS/COURT COSTS: Provides relative to fees for services by constables and
marshals
DIGEST
Present law places the marshal of the city of Ruston under a separate fee schedule.
Proposed law changes the fees collected by the marshal of the city of Ruston by placing the
marshal within the general fee schedules of marshals and constables (R.S. 13:5807) and by
removing the authority of the city marshal of the city of Ruston to collect certain fees and
costs under a separate authority (R.S. 13:5807.5).
Proposed law provides that in accordance with present law, the increase in court costs or fees
as provided for in proposed law only become effective if and when the Judicial Council
provides a favorable recommendation in the Judicial Council 2022 Report to the Louisiana
Legislature.
(Amends R.S. 13:5807.5(intro. para.))
