House Bill No. by Representative Robby Carter proposes an amendment to the Code of Civil Procedure by enacting Article 1313(E), which allows counsel of record to designate a preferred method of service for all future pleadings at the beginning of a case. This new provision aims to streamline the service of process by enabling attorneys to inform the court of their preferred method, which can include options such as mail, delivery, or electronic means as outlined in existing law.
The bill retains the current provisions of Article 1313(A) regarding the methods of service while adding the new option for counsel to specify their preference. This change is intended to enhance the efficiency of legal proceedings by ensuring that all parties are aware of the preferred communication method from the outset of a case.
