Arizona's SB 1161 updates fee schedules for sheriffs and constables handling civil court services. It specifies exact charges for tasks like serving summonses ($16), levying attachments ($48), and executing writs of possession ($48 plus $40/hour for overtime). The bill also establishes a mileage rate of $2.40 per mile (minimum $16 per service, one-way) and requires constables to maintain public daily activity logs tracking all served processes, case details, and mileage. These changes directly affect sheriffs, constables, and court participants who use their services for civil matters.
