This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Summary

Existing law authorizes personal service upon a party in a civil action, if no specific provision is made, by leaving the notice or other papers at the party's residence, between the hours of 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. with a person of not less than 18 years of age. This bill would, until January 1, 2014, instead require the first attempt to personally serve a summons or complaint initiating an action to be made between the hours of 7 a.m. and 8 p.m. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
