Summary

Existing law requires a process server to register with the county clerk where he or she resides or has a principal place of business. Existing law also requires any corporation or partnership that derives compensation from service of process in this state to register with the county clerk where the corporation or partnership has its principal place of business. Existing law requires the county clerk to retain the certificate of registration, as specified. Existing law also requires the county clerk to receive Live Scan fingerprint results and the presiding judge of the superior court is authorized to review the criminal record of registrants convicted of a felony and to take appropriate action, as specified. Existing law also requires the county clerk to provide a variety of administrative services pertaining to the registration of process servers. Existing law, the State Bar Act, provides for the licensure and regulation of attorneys by the State Bar of California, a public corporation. This law would remove oversight of the registration of process servers from the counties and place it within the State Bar of California. This bill would also make technical, nonsubstantive changes to correct cross references.
