SB709

West Virginia SB709 allows county commissions to collect special emergency ambulance service fees and pursue delinquent fees through court.

West Virginia SB709 provides a process for county commissions to collect a special emergency ambulance service fee from users within the county. The proceeds from this fee can be used to pay for the establishment, maintenance, and operation of an authority. The bill also allows county commissions to initiate collection of delinquent fees through magistrate court or by placing a judgment lien, without having to pay associated court costs and fees. If a court finds the fee to be lawfully owed, the delinquent party must pay all court fees related to the collection.
