1. Every action for the involuntary dissolution of a limited liability company brought by the attorney general shall be commenced either in the circuit court of the county in which the registered office of the limited liability company is located or, if no such address is on file with the secretary, in the circuit court of Cole County. Summons shall issue and be served as in other civil actions.
2. If process is returned "not found", the attorney general shall cause publication to be made as in other civil cases in a newspaper of general circulation in the county where the registered office of the limited liability company is located, containing a notice of the pendency of the action, the title of the court, the title of the action, and the date on or after which default may be entered. The attorney general may include in one notice the names of any number of limited liability companies against which actions are then pending in the same court. The attorney general shall cause a copy of such notice to be mailed to the registered agent of the limited liability company as shown on the records of the secretary within ten days after the first publication thereof.
3. The certificate of the attorney general of the mailing of the notice shall be prima facie evidence of such notice. Such notice shall be published at least once a week for two successive weeks, and the first publication may begin at any time after the summons has been returned. Unless a limited liability company has been served with summons, no default shall be taken against it earlier than thirty days after the first publication of the notice.
