(1) Each insurer shall file with the
Commissioner a power of attorney appointing a person who is a
resident of this state to receive service of legal process issued
against it in this state upon any cause of action arising from its
transactions of business in this state. The power of attorney shall
be irrevocable and may only be terminated by the filing of a new
appointment by the insurer; and (2) Each insurer shall appoint the Commissioner
as its attorney to receive service of legal process issued against
it in this state upon any cause of action arising from its
transactions of business in this state. The appointment shall be
irrevocable, shall bind any successor, and shall remain in effect
as long as there is in force in this state any contract made by the
insurer or obligations arising therefrom. Each insurer at time of
application for a certificate of authority shall file with the
Commissioner the designation of the name and address of the person
to whom process against it served upon the Commissioner is to be
forwarded. The insurer may change such designation by a new filing.
Service of process upon the Commissioner, however, shall only be
made when service cannot be effected in this state by serving the
attorney in fact appointed by the insurer as provided under
paragraph (1) of this Code section.
