Bill overview
The Electronic Service for Effectiveness, Reduction of Violence, and Improved Court Efficiency Act of 2019 (E-SERVICE Act) authorizes the Department of Justice to provide grants to state and tribal courts to pilot programs for electronically serving protection orders. These grants aim to modernize service processes, enhance victim safety, and ensure protection orders are effectively enforced. The program requires a multidisciplinary partnership of government agencies and domestic violence stakeholders, and emphasizes compliance with due process and the use of appropriate technology. The bill also establishes criteria for grant recipients and requires ongoing reporting on program implementation and effectiveness.
