Civil procedure: service of process; fees and mileage allowed for service of process; modify.

HB 6050 updates the fees and mileage reimbursement rates that process servers in Michigan can charge for various legal services, such as serving summonses, subpoenas, and eviction orders. The bill increases specific flat fees for these services from $26 to $36 and from $40 to $50, while also raising the fee for receiving and filing bonds in claim and delivery actions from $20 to $30. Additionally, it adjusts the compensation for verification services and clarifies rules regarding mileage calculations and the handling of illegal fee charges. These changes directly affect professional process servers and the courts that utilize their services to deliver legal documents.
