Cal Bus & Prof Code § 17511.6
§ 17511.6. Irrevocable consent appointing Attorney General as seller's attorney to receive service
Every telephonic seller shall file with the Attorney General, in the form prescribed by the Attorney
General, an irrevocable consent appointing the Attorney General to act as the seller's attorney to receive
service of any lawful process in any noncriminal suit, action, or proceeding against the seller or the
seller's successor, executor, or administrator, which may arise under this article, when the agent designated
pursuant to subdivision (o) of Section 17511.4 has resigned and has not been replaced or if the agent so
designated cannot with reasonable diligence be found at the address designated pursuant to subdivision (o) of
Section 17511.4 or if no agent has been designated pursuant thereto. When service is made upon the Attorney
General in conformance with this section, it shall have the same force and validity as if served personally on
the seller. Service may be made by leaving a copy of the process in the office of the Attorney General, but it
shall not be effective unless both of the following are done:
(a)
When service is effected pursuant to this section, the plaintiff shall forthwith send by first-class
mail a notice of the service and a copy of the process to the defendant or respondent at the last address on
file with the department.
(b)
The plaintiff's affidavit of compliance with this section shall be filed in the case on or before the
return date of the process, if any, or within such further time as the court allows.
