What’s in it

This bill provides an alternative to service of process relating to juvenile delinquency proceedings and termination of parental rights proceedings under Code chapter 232 (juvenile justice). The bill provides that in the context of providing service of a summons or notice to specified parties relating to a formal judicial proceeding to determine whether a child has committed a delinquent act, if the court determines that personal service of a summons or notice is impracticable, the court may, in addition to the current option of ordering service by certified mail addressed to the last known address of the party, provide service by electronic mail or other electronic means with the consent of the party to be served.

Changed since by amendment S-3115; see Amendments.
