Clerks in youth court; remove prohibition against receiving compensation for attending youth court.
HB 1451 removes a ban preventing county clerks from receiving standard fees for attending youth court proceedings. The bill specifically allows circuit and chancery clerks to be paid for their work in youth court cases, aligning their compensation with other court services. Fees will be paid by the county from the general fund, following existing payment procedures for similar court duties. This change directly affects county clerks handling youth court matters in Mississippi. The bill passed and took effect on July 1, 2025.
