§ 178.591. Use of electronic means

1. Except when personal service of a person is ordered by the court or required by

specific statute, a person who is represented by an attorney may be lawfully served

with any motion, notice or other legal document by electronic means if the office

of the attorney representing the person has the ability to receive and store the motion,

notice or other legal document electronically. 2. In addition to any other document required by the court, a person who uses electronic

means pursuant to subsection 1 to electronically serve any motion, notice or other

legal document that is required to be filed with the court shall include with the

original document filed with the court evidence of the electronic transmittal of the

legal document. 3. A court clerk may accept a motion, notice or other legal document that is filed

electronically. A motion, notice or other legal document that is filed electronically must contain

an image of the signature of the prosecuting attorney. 4. If a court clerk accepts a motion, notice or other legal document that is filed

electronically pursuant to subsection 3, the court clerk shall acknowledge receipt

of the motion, notice or other legal document by an electronic time stamp and shall

electronically return the motion, notice or other legal document with the electronic

time stamp to the prosecuting attorney. A motion, notice or other legal document may be converted into a printed document

and served upon a defendant in the same manner as a motion, notice or other legal

document that is not filed electronically. 5. A motion, notice or other legal document that is filed or served electronically

shall be deemed to be filed or served on the date that it is filed or served electronically

if it is filed or served not later than 11:59 p.m. on that date.
