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 the electronic signature of the prosecuting attorney.
