AB 1143 California Assembly · 2021-2022 Regular Session

Civil procedure: restraining orders.

Summary

Existing law permits a person who has suffered harassment, as defined, to file a petition for a temporary restraining order and a restraining order after hearing prohibiting the harassment. Existing law requires the petitioner to personally serve the respondent with the petition for the temporary restraining order and restraining order, as applicable, and notice of the hearing. This bill would provide that if the court determines at the hearing that, after a diligent effort, the petitioner has been unable to accomplish personal service, and that there is reason to believe that the respondent is evading service or cannot be located, then the court may specify another method of service that is reasonably calculated to give actual notice to the respondent and may prescribe the manner in which proof of service shall be made.
