§ 484. Secretary as attorney for service of process
The acceptance by a person of the rights and privileges conferred upon him or her
by this part of this title, as evidenced by his or her operating, or causing to be
operated, an aircraft in this State, shall be deemed equivalent to an appointment
by the person of the Secretary or his or her successor in office to be his or her
true and lawful attorney upon whom may be served all lawful processes in any action
or proceedings against the person growing out of any accident or collision in which
the person may be involved while operating or causing to be operated an aircraft in
this State. That acceptance shall be deemed to be the agreement of the person that
any process against him or her that is so served upon the Secretary shall be of the
same validity as if served on the person personally. (Added 1985, No. 222 (Adj. Sess.), § 2.)
