Section R641-106-200 - Personal Service of Request (Petition) and Related Pleadings

210. In addition to the notice required by R641-106-100, wherever personal service is required by applicable law, the petitioner, or the Board in any proceeding initiated by the Board, will personally serve a copy of the petition and all pleadings filed with the secretary of the Board at the same time as the petition, other than exhibits, on any person required by statute to be served and on any respondent. The Board, on its own motion, may at any time also require petitioner to effect personal service on any other person whose legally protected interests may, in the opinion of the Board, be affected by the proceedings. In such event the Board will prescribe the schedule for service of the request and any response thereto.

220. Personal service under this rule will be accomplished no later than the 15th day of the month preceding the month in which the first hearing in the matter is held.

230. Personal service may be made by any person authorized by law to serve summons in the same manner and extent as is provided by the Utah Rules of Civil Procedure for the service of summons in civil actions in the district courts in this state. Proof of service will be in the form required by law with respect to service of process in civil actions. Persons otherwise entitled to personal service under these rules may be served by publication or mail in accordance with Rule 4(f) of the Utah Rules of Civil Procedure. In such a case, any member of the Board may consider ex parte and rule upon the verified motion of any person seeking to accomplish service by publication or mail.
