SENATE BILL NO. 814 Offered January 11, 2017 Prefiled November 2, 2016 A BILL to amend the Code of Virginia by adding in Article 5 of Chapter 14 of Title 8.01 a section numbered 8.01-410.1, relating to service of summons for witness or subpoena duces tecum on registered agent of a foreign business entity. ---------- Patron-- Surovell ---------- Referred to Committee for Courts of Justice ----------

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That the Code of Virginia is amended by adding in Article 5 of Chapter 14 of Title 8.01 a section numbered 8.01-410.1 as follows:

§ 8.01-410.1. Service of summons for witness or subpoena duces tecum on foreign business entities.

When a summons for a witness or subpoena duces tecum is served on the registered agent of a foreign business entity that is authorized or registered by or with the State Corporation Commission to transact business in the Commonwealth under any applicable provision of Title 13.1 or Title 50, the court may enforce compliance with such summons or subpoena, regardless of whether the foreign business entity is a party to the underlying case, to the extent consistent with due process.

This section in no way limits the right of the foreign business entity to apply to the court to quash or otherwise modify such summons or subpoena.
