§ 3037. Foreign companies; service of process
A foreign nonprofit or cooperative corporation supplying or authorized to supply electric
energy and owning or operating electric transmission or distribution lines in an adjacent
state, prior to March 26, 1943, may construct or acquire extensions of lines in this
State within an area no point of which is more than 25 miles from the boundary line
of this State and may operate those extensions without qualifying as a foreign corporation
to do business in this State. Before constructing or operating such extensions, by
an instrument executed and acknowledged on its behalf by its president or vice president,
under its seal attested by its clerk or secretary, and filed with the Secretary of
State, a corporation shall designate the Secretary of State its agent to accept service
of process on its behalf. Thereafter, the corporation shall have all the rights, powers,
privileges, and immunities of a cooperative. Service of process shall be made upon
the Secretary of State in accordance with the provisions of 11 V.S.A. § 1656. (Amended 2023, No. 85 (Adj. Sess.), § 430, eff. July 1, 2024; 2025, No. 10, § 26, eff. July 1, 2025.)
