As Amended
SEC. 69-21-11. License; nonresident; service of process.
Any nonresident individual, partnership, association, firm or corporation applying for a license to engage in the business of applying hormone-type herbicides by aircraft in the State of Mississippi shall file a written power of attorney designating the secretary of state as the agent of such nonresident upon whom service of process may be had in the event of any suit against said nonresident individual, partnership, association, firm or corporation; and such power of attorney shall be so prepared in such form as to render effective the jurisdiction of the courts of Mississippi over such nonresident applicants and make such applicants amenable to the jurisdiction of the courts of this state. Provided, however, that any such nonresident who has a duly appointed resident agent upon whom process may be served as provided by law shall not be required to so designate the secretary of state as such agent. The secretary of state shall be allowed such fees therefor as provided by law for designating resident agents. The commissioner shall be furnished with a copy of such designation of the secretary of state or of a resident agent duly certified by the secretary of state.
The commissioner may issue a license without examination to a nonresident who is licensed in another state substantially in accordance with the provisions of this article.
