Discovery: depositions.

Existing law provides that a deposition subpoena that commands only the production of business records for copying shall command compliance on a date that is no earlier than 20 days after the issuance, or 15 days after the service, of the subpoena, whichever is later. Existing law also provides that a deposition to produce personal records of a consumer or employment records of an employee must be scheduled at least 20 days after the issuance of the subpoena. This bill would instead require a deposition subpoena commanding the production of business records to command compliance at least 15 days after the service of the subpoena. It would also require a deposition to produce personal records of a consumer or employment records of an employee to be scheduled at least 20 days after service of the subpoena.
