Bill Summary
This bill authorizes the Legislative Counsel in the Office of Legislative Services to accept proper and sufficient service of process on behalf of the State Legislature when either or both Houses are named defendants in any legal proceeding.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing law to grant the Legislative Counsel, an office within the Office of Legislative Services, the authority to officially receive legal documents, known as "service of process," on behalf of the entire State Legislature when either or both of its houses are named as defendants in a lawsuit. This means that instead of having to serve individual legislators or specific legislative offices, legal notices in such cases can be formally delivered to the Legislative Counsel, streamlining the legal process for the Legislature.
