Abstract:

The 2001 NC General Assembly is still in session; however, one piece of legislation passed by the Assembly is of interest to sheriffs. That is an amendment to Rule 4 of the Rules of Civil Process which extends the life of a summons from thirty to sixty days to allow the sheriff more time to find the defendants and serve the process on them. Another piece of legislation for sheriffs is still working its way through the legislative process.
