§ 1-6-110 — Transmission of process by telecommunications

Any summons, writ or order in any civil proceeding, and all
other papers requiring service may be transmitted by any form of
telecommunication for service in any place, and the copy of such
writ, order or paper so transmitted may be served or executed by
the officer or person to whom it is sent for that purpose and
returned by him, if any return be requisite, in the same manner
and with the same force and effect as the original thereof might
be if delivered to him. The officer or person serving or
executing the same has the same authority and is subject to the
same liabilities as if the copy were the original. The original,
when a writ or order, must also be filed in the court from which
it was issued and a certified copy thereof shall be preserved in
the telecommunication office from which it is sent. In sending
it, either the original or certified copy may be used by the
operator for that purpose. Whenever any document to be sent by
telecommunication bears a seal, either private or official, it
is not necessary for the operator to communicate a description
of the seal or any words or device thereon, but the same may be
expressed in the telecommunication by the letters "L. S." or by
the word "Seal".
