§ 45:15-16.
a. For purposes of this act, an applicant for registration submitted to the commission
shall be deemed as submission, by the applicant, to the jurisdiction of the Courts
of the State of New Jersey. b. In addition to the methods of service provided for in the Rules Governing the Courts
of the State of New Jersey, service may be made by delivering a copy of the process
to the person in charge of the office of the commission at its office, but that service
shall not be effective unless the plaintiff, which may be the commission in a proceeding
instituted by it: (1) Sends a copy of the process and the pleading by certified mail to the defendant
or respondent at his last known address; and (2) The plaintiff's affidavit of compliance with this section is filed in the case
on or before the return day of the process, if any, or within the time as the court
allows. c. If any person, including any nonresident of this State, engaged in conduct prohibited
by this act and has not filed a consent of service of process and personal jurisdiction
over him cannot otherwise be obtained in this State, that conduct authorizes the commission
to receive service of process in any noncriminal proceedings against him or his successor
which grows out of that conduct and which is brought under this act with the same
force and validity as if served on him personally. Notice shall be given as provided in subsection a. of this section.
