House Bill No. by Representative Galle amends the Code of Civil Procedure regarding the service of process by private individuals. The bill specifies that when a sheriff has not served an original petition or executory pleading within ten days of receiving the process, the court must appoint a qualified private person to perform the service. Additionally, it changes the requirement for proving service from being treated like any other fact in the case to necessitating the filing of a return of service with the court. The bill also clarifies that any private person can serve notices related to summary proceedings without needing the sheriff to attempt service first, eliminating the previous requirement for the party to provide reasons for bypassing the sheriff.

Furthermore, the bill modifies the provisions related to the service of subpoenas, allowing any private person to serve a subpoena without the sheriff's prior attempt. It removes the requirement for proof of service to be notarized, simplifying the process for private individuals serving subpoenas. Overall, the bill aims to streamline the service of process by private persons, making it more efficient and less dependent on the sheriff's involvement.
