Louisiana HB683 modifies the procedure for service of process by private individuals.
Louisiana HB683 amends the Code of Civil Procedure to change the rules for service of process by private individuals. The bill allows any private person to serve process without the sheriff's prior attempt, removes the requirement for a notarized return to prove service, and specifies that service must be made in the same manner as required for sheriffs. The bill also retains the requirement for a party to include reasons, verified by affidavit, for forgoing sheriff service, such as urgent emergencies or knowledge of the person's whereabouts.
