MICHIGAN STATUTES AND CODES
Section 125.2335 - Service of process.
Act 96 of 1987
125.2335 Service of process.
Sec. 35.
(1) A person who applies for a license or permit under this act which is for other than a domestic corporation shall file with the commission, in a form the commission prescribes, an irrevocable consent appointing the commission to be its attorney to receive service of lawful process in any noncriminal action or proceeding against it or its successor, executor, or administrator, which arises under this act or a rule promulgated or order issued under this act after the consent is 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 act or a rule promulgated or order issued under this act, whether or not consent to service of process was filed and personal jurisdiction over him or her cannot otherwise be obtained in this state, that conduct shall be considered equivalent to his or her appointment of the commission to be his or her attorney to receive service of lawful process in a noncriminal action or proceeding against him or her or his or her successor, executor, or administrator which grows out of that conduct and which is brought under this act or a rule promulgated or order issued under this act, with the same force and validity as if served on the person personally.
(3) Service under subsection (1) or (2) may be made by filing a copy of the process in the office of the commission together with a $25.00 fee. The service is not effective unless the plaintiff, which may be the commission in an action or proceeding instituted by it, immediately sends notice of the service and a copy of the process by registered or certified mail to the defendant or respondent at his or her last known address or takes other steps which are reasonably calculated to give actual notice, and the plaintiff's affidavit or compliance with this section is filed in the case on or before the return day of the process, if any, or within such further time as the court allows.
