Bill > SB6154

This bill updates the process service requirements in Washington state for business entities and motorists. Key provisions include: 1. Allowing service of process on represented entities (as defined in RCW 23.95.400) to be made in accordance with RCW 23.95.450, rather than the previous requirements for corporations. 2. Repealing RCW 4.28.090, which previously addressed service on corporations without an officer in the state. 3. Updating the provisions for service by publication, including allowing such service on "nonregistered foreign entities" (as defined in RCW 23.95.105) with property in the state. 4. Clarifying and streamlining the requirements for service on nonresident motorists, including specifying the process to be followed by the Secretary of State when receiving service. The bill aims to modernize and simplify the process service requirements for businesses and motorists in Washington state.
