| HB 1528 (Truly Agreed) | Changes process of collecting fees paid to sheriffs in civil court cases; homemade trailers inspected by sheriff |
SCS/HB 1528 - This act changes language inconsistent with various sections of Chapter 488, RSMo, enacted by SB 896 (1996), so that moneys paid to the sheriff for serving court papers are collected by the court clerk as court costs. Collected moneys will be held in a fund established under Section 57.280 of this act and shall not be transferred to the county general revenue fund.
The act requires that the party applying for a writ, subpoena, or other process from the Supreme Court must pay for the transportation and safekeeping of any property to be seized before the seizure occurs.
The act also requires people who are titling new homemade
trailers to get the trailers inspected first by the local
sheriff. This is limited to trailers 16' or more in length. The
sheriff shall issue a certificate if the trailer appears to be
homemade and if it is road worthy. A fee of $10 is paid to the
sheriff and remitted to the county law enforcement or general
fund. This provision is identical to SB 678.
