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. 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. 6. As used in this section, electronic signature has the meaning ascribed to it in the Nevada Electronic Filing and Conversion Rules.
