KRS 453.190, or unless the party is the Commonwealth, a county, city, or any agency
thereof, no officer shall be required to execute any process in a civil case on behalf of a
party until the party has deposited with the clerk of the court from which the process
issued a sum, not exceeding five dollars ($5), sufficient to pay the fees for executing all
process on behalf of that party in the case. Upon filing due return showing service the
officer shall be paid his proper fee by the clerk. Any portion of the deposit not used to pay
fees for process actually executed shall be returned to the party who paid it. If the process
is sent to the officer from another county, he shall not be required to execute it unless it is
accompanied by the fee or a certificate from the clerk that there is a sufficient sum on
deposit to pay the fee. Effective: October 1, 1942
