AB 1093 California Assembly · 2017-2018 Regular Session

Service of process.

Summary
Under existing law, if a copy of a summons and complaint cannot with reasonable diligence be personally delivered to the person to be served, as specified, a summons and complaint may be served by leaving a copy with certain people at the person's dwelling house, usual place of abode, usual place of business, or usual mailing address, other than a United States Postal Service box, and mailing a copy of the summons and complaint by first-class mail to the place where a copy was left. This bill would, if the only address reasonably known for the person to be served is a private mailbox obtained through a commercial mail receiving agency, allow service of process to be effected on the first delivery attempt by leaving a copy of the summons and complaint with the commercial mail receiving agency, as specified.
