(a) Serving of process in any action, rule, order, or legal proceeding may be made on any club not domiciled in this State having a certificate of authority to transact business in this State by mailing two copies of the process to the Administrator by registered or certified mail. One copy, certified by the Administrator or his deputy as having been served upon him, is considered sufficient evidence, and service upon the Administrator or his deputy as attorney is considered valid service upon the club.
(b) When legal process is served upon the Administrator as attorney for a club not domiciled in this State, he shall forthwith forward one of the duplicate copies of the process served on him to the club. The Administrator shall give immediate notice of process to the club by telephone. As a condition of valid and effective service and of the duty of the Administrator in the premises, the plaintiff in each process shall pay to the Administrator at the time of service the sum of ten dollars, which the plaintiff may recover as taxable costs in the case if he prevails in the suit. The Administrator shall keep a record of all processes, which shall show the day and hour of service and where and by whom served.
