SUMMARY AS PASSED SENATE: (all summaries)

Attorney-issued subpoenas. Eliminates the five-days before trial (or the date of return) restriction on attorney-issued subpoenas and makes them subject to the same time frame as all other subpoenas. The attorney-issued subpoenas will be subject to the general provision that a judge may choose not to enforce a subpoena that is issued within five days. A sheriff is not required to serve an attorney-issued subpoena that is issued within five days. As introduced, this bill was a recommendation of the Boyd-Graves Conference.
