HB 2489 raises fees and mileage reimbursement amounts that constables and sheriffs receive for serving papers in civil actions.

History

Sheriffs, constables and private process servers are charged with serving official documents during civil actions. Arizona Revised Statutes (A.R.S.) §11-445 authorizes the process servers to receive various fees and mileage reimbursement for each official document served. These fees were last raised by Laws 1988, Chapter 214.
