CIVIL/PROCEDURE: Provides relative to service of process

HB 216 allows attorneys (counsel of record) in Louisiana civil cases to choose their preferred method for receiving court documents (mail, in-person delivery, or electronic) at the start of a case. This change applies only to how legal papers are served between attorneys, not to the public or court procedures. The bill does not alter existing service rules but gives attorneys flexibility to select their most efficient method for future filings. It directly affects civil litigation attorneys handling cases in Louisiana courts. The bill is procedural and does not impose new requirements or change substantive law.
