Printed text lists fees for serving court papers and court orders

The printed text lists set fees for serving papers and carrying out certain court orders. The fees cover specified services by people authorized to serve court papers, including paper delivery, property seizure, and eviction. Mileage and certain actual, reasonable expenses may also be charged where the section allows them. The bill would take effect only if House Bills 5120 and 5121 also become law.

The text says no fee may be charged for serving papers or orders in an extreme risk protection order case. This covers process and orders issued in an action under Michigan's Extreme Risk Protection Order Act. The bill would take effect only if House Bills 5120 and 5121 also become law.

The text says courts and law enforcement may not charge petitioners for listed protection-order service when money remains in the service fund. The rule covers listed papers in personal or foreign protection-order cases, including petitions, orders, hearing notices, and witness papers. For completed service, law enforcement may seek the greater of $50 or $26 plus mileage from the fund. It may not charge more for serving multiple documents at the same time. The bill would take effect only if House Bills 5120 and 5121 also become law.
