Notice Regarding New Mandatory Judicial Council Instruction Forms Pursuant to AB 2791 and GOV § 26666.10, the Judicial Council has created new, mandatory service instructions to be used by all California Sheriff's and Marshals. The two new forms created by the Judicial Council are the SER-001 - Request for Sheriff to Serve Court Papers, and the SER-001A - Special Instructions to Serve Court Papers. These new Judicial Council forms supersede all pre-existing service instructions created by the Sheriff's Department and are mandatory for use as of 1/1/2024 when submitting requests for service of civil process to the Sheriff's Department. The SER-001 is required for all services being submitted to the Sheriff's Department for service. The SER-001A is required for all writ-related services (in addition to the SER-001) being submitted to the Sheriff's Department for service. If necessary, additional service information may be provided on a separate page entitled "Attachment to Sheriff's Instruction for Service". (Requests for wage garnishments are still made on the WG-001 Application for Earnings Withholding Order.) |
