Chapter 60.--PROCEDURE, CIVIL Article 3.--PROCESS

      60-305a.   Process agents for motor common carriers. Every individual, partnership, association or corporation engaged in the business of transportation as a common carrier, which is subject to regulation by the state corporation commission, doing business in this state shall designate some person residing in this state on whom all process and notices issued by any court of record may be served. In every case such individual, partnership, company or corporation shall file a certificate of the appointment and designation of such person in the office of the state corporation commission or as required pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 11506. The service of the process upon the person so designated, in any civil action, shall be deemed and held to be as effectual and complete as if service of such process were made upon the president or other chief officer of such individual, partnership, company or corporation. Any individual, partnership, company or corporation may revoke the appointment and designation of such person upon whom process may be served, by appointing any other person qualified as above specified and filing a certificate of such appointment. Every second or subsequent appointment shall also designate the person whose place is filled by such appointment. If any such individual, partnership, company or corporation fails to designate and appoint such person, as required by this section, such process may be served in any county as provided by provisions of article 3 of chapter 60 of Kansas Statutes Annotated, and amendments thereto.
