§ 8107. Criminal process issued by Vermont court; reciprocity
(a) Criminal process, including subpoenas, search warrants, and other court orders issued
pursuant to this chapter, may be served and executed upon any service provider within
or outside the State, provided the service provider has contact with Vermont sufficient
to support personal jurisdiction over it by this State. Notwithstanding any other
provision in this chapter, only a service provider may challenge legal process, or
the admissibility of evidence obtained pursuant to it, on the ground that Vermont
lacks personal jurisdiction over it.
(b) This section shall not be construed to limit the authority of a court to issue criminal
process under any other provision of law.
(c) A service provider incorporated, domiciled, or with a principal place of business
in Vermont that has been properly served with criminal process issued by a court of
competent jurisdiction in another state, commonwealth, territory, or political subdivision
thereof shall comply with the legal process as though it had been issued by a court
of competent jurisdiction in this State. (Added 2015, No. 169 (Adj. Sess.), § 5, eff. Oct. 1, 2016.)
