Electronic service of process.

Existing law authorizes a trial court to adopt local rules permitting electronic filing and service of documents, subject to rules adopted by the Judicial Council and other specified conditions. This bill would modify those conditions, and would authorize the court, in any action in which a party has agreed to accept electronic service, or in which the court has ordered electronic service, as specified, to electronically serve any document issued by the court that is not required to be personally served, in the same manner that parties electronically serve documents. The bill would require the Judicial Council to adopt rules relating to the integrity of electronic service. The bill would make other technical and conforming changes.
