1. Every applicant for registration under this chapter shall file with the Administrator, in the form prescribed by the Administrator, an irrevocable consent appointing the Administrator or his or her successor in office as the applicants attorney to receive service of any lawful process in any noncriminal suit, action or proceeding against the applicant or his or her successor, executor or administrator which arises under this chapter or any regulation adopted or order issued under this chapter after the consent has been filed, with the same force and validity as if served personally on the person filing the consent. 2. When a person, including a nonresident of this State, engages in conduct prohibited or made actionable by this chapter, or by any regulation or order of the Administrator, the engaging in the conduct shall be deemed to constitute the appointment of the Administrator as the persons attorney to receive service of any lawful process in a noncriminal proceeding against the person, a successor or a personal representative, which grows out of that conduct and which is brought under this chapter or any regulation or order of the Administrator with the same force and validity as if served personally. 3. Service under subsection 1 or 2 may be made by leaving a copy of the process in the office of the Administrator, but it is not effective unless: (a) The plaintiff, who may be the Administrator in a suit, action or proceeding instituted by the Administrator, forthwith sends notice of the service and a copy of the process by registered mail to the defendant or respondent at the last address known to the Administrator; and (b) The plaintiffs affidavit of compliance with this subsection is filed in the case on or before the date for return of the process, if any, or within such further time as the court allows.
