Sec. 53a-207. Service of process on nonresidents. Every nonresident person,
whether acting personally or by an agent, salesman, employee, officer or another, who
promotes any material or performance that is obscene or obscene as to minors in this
state shall be deemed to have appointed the Secretary of the State as his attorney and
to have agreed that any process in any action arising under sections 53a-199 to 53a-206, inclusive, brought against or naming such nonresident as a defendant, may be
served upon said secretary and shall have the same validity as if served upon such
nonresident personally. Such process shall be served by the officer to whom the same
is directed upon said secretary by leaving with or at the office of said secretary a true
and attested copy thereof and by sending to the defendant, by registered or certified
mail, postage prepaid, a like true and attested copy with an endorsement thereon of the
service upon said secretary addressed to such defendant at his last-known address. The
Secretary of the State shall keep a record of each such process and the day and hour of
service.
