Russell County, probate recording fee, further provided

House Bill 348 relates to Russell County and modifies the assessment of a probate recording fee, affecting individuals who file documents or obtain marriage licenses in the county. It establishes an initial $5 fee for each instrument filed and marriage license issued, which the Russell County Commission can increase up to $10 by resolution. These collected fees are deposited into an account managed by the Judge of Probate and are specifically designated for modernizing the probate office's records and record-keeping. The funds cannot be used for general operational costs of the probate office unless deemed in excess of modernization needs, and the fees are levied for two-year periods requiring a county commission vote for renewal.
