Description
Return of service of process; costs. Provides that if a sheriff who has received process or papers to be served by him fails to return service of process within 72 hours of effecting service, the party requesting service of process may elect to have process served by a private process server. The party shall give notice of such an election to the clerk's office that issued the process and the sheriff prior to making such an election. If, at the time such notice is received, return of service of process has still not been made, the sheriff shall be liable for the costs subsequently incurred in effecting service as well as costs incurred in collecting the costs of service.
