Court fees; allocating additional $10 docket fee to the State General Fund
SB 150 would change how municipal courts in Alabama handle $10 of each docket fee. Currently, municipal courts retain this $10 for their own operations, but the bill would require it to be deposited directly into the State General Fund instead. This would reduce direct funding available to municipal courts for their daily operations, as the money would now support broader state budget needs. The bill does not alter other fee amounts or distributions for civil, criminal, or traffic cases. It specifically targets the $10 portion of municipal court docket fees.
