Every nonresident person, whether acting personally or by an agent, salesman, employee, officer or another, who promotes any material or performance that is obscene or obscene as to minors in this state shall be deemed to have appointed the Secretary of the State as his attorney and to have agreed that any process in any action arising under sections 53a-199 to 53a-206, inclusive, brought against or naming such nonresident as a defendant, may be served upon said secretary and shall have the same validity as if served upon such nonresident personally. Such process shall be served by the officer to whom the same is directed upon said secretary by leaving with or at the office of said secretary a true and attested copy thereof and by sending to the defendant, by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, a like true and attested copy with an endorsement thereon of the service upon said secretary addressed to such defendant at his last-known address. The Secretary of the State shall keep a record of each such process and the day and hour of service.
