Approved March 14, 1962
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That §§ 8-47 and 8-66 of the Code of Virginia be amended and
reenacted, and that the Code of Virginia be amended by adding a section
numbered 8-66.1, the amended and new sections being as follows:
§ 8-47. Process against the defendant to answer in any action, suit
or motion brought under § 8-39, shall not be executed in any other county
or city other than that wherein the action, suit or motion is brought, un-
less it be:
(1) An action against a corporation, unincorporated association or
order;
(2) An action upon a bond taken by an officer under authority of
some statute;
(3) An action to recover damages for a wrong; or
(4) An action against two or more defendants on one of whom such
process has been executed in the county or city in which the action is
brought;
Or unless it be otherwise specially provided.
§ 8-66. All unincorporated associations or orders may sue and be
sued under the name by which they are commonly known and called, or
under which they do business, and judgments and executions against any
such association or order shall bind its real and personal property in like
manner as if it were incorporated. Process against such association or
order or notice to it may be served on any officer or trustee, director,
staff member or agent of such association or order.
§ §-66.1. If an unincorporated association or order has its principal
office outside Virginia and transacts business or affairs in this State,
process or notice may be served on any officer, trustee, director, staff
member, or agent of such association or order in the city or county in
which he may be found or on the clerk of the State Corporation Commis-
sion, who shall be deemed by virtue of such transaction of business or
affairs in this State to have been appointed agent of such association or
order upon whom may be made service of process or notice. When served
with such process or notice, the clerk of the State Corporation Com-
mission shall forthwith cause it to be sent by registered or certified mail
to the association or order at its last known address and keep a record
thereof. Service, when duly made, shall constitute sufficient foundation
for a personal judgment against such association or order. If service may
not be had as aforesaid, then on affidavit of that fact an order of publi-
cation may be awarded as provided by §§ 8-71 and 8-72.
