An Act To Increase Civil Process Fees

Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows:

Sec. 1. 30-A MRSA §421, 4th ¶, as amended by PL 1991, c. 498, §3, is further amended to read:

The county commissioners of each county may require that the fees collected under subsections 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 12, 13 and 14 be increased by $1 $5, except that the fee paid by any state agency or department may only be increased by $1. The sheriff or deputy shall collect this additional dollar amount and pay it to the county treasurer for the use and benefit of the county. The county commissioners may also require that the fees collected under subsections 1 to 14 be increased by an amount equal to the cost of social security and other withholding taxes on the fees payable under this section.
