Relating to increasing the services the sheriff may charge

HB 2509 increases the maximum fees sheriffs can charge for specific court-related services, such as serving summonses and process, from $25 to $30 per instance. It also raises the portion of these fees allocated to the West Virginia Deputy Sheriff Retirement Fund from $2 to $5 per fee. County commissions would need to update their fee schedules to reflect these changes. The bill does not affect other sheriff fees, such as those for transporting prisoners or handling bonds.
