Change civil procedure provisions relating to third-party practice and deposition subpoenas

Summary

The legislation updates how a defending party can bring in a third‑party plaintiff and how third‑party defendants are treated, adding timing limits and new motion options. It also changes subpoena rules so attorneys can issue them, requires filing copies with the court, and mandates clear instructions for in‑person, video, or telephone depositions. The changes aim to streamline litigation and make subpoena notices more transparent for witnesses.
