SHERIFF-PROCESS SERVICE-FEES
Summary
Amends the Counties Code. Provides that a sheriff in a county of the third class may receive a fee of $200 for serving or attempting to serve, without aid, an order or judgment either for the possession of real estate in an action of ejectment or any other action or for restitution in an eviction action if service of the order or judgment was rescheduled by the party seeking enforcement. Authorizes the sheriff to tax the actual costs of service of these judgments and orders when aid is necessary. Allows imposition of this fee if the party seeking enforcement previously sought enforcement on the same order or judgment and canceled or failed to appear at the scheduled time for the enforcement of the order or judgment without providing the sheriff with notice of the need to reschedule or cancel enforcement at least 8 hours before to the scheduled enforcement.
