Kansas Legislative Code: Navigating the Heart of State Law

74-8755. Authorization for any action or garnishment by lottery gaming facility manager and racetrack gaming facility manager. To enter into a contract for the privilege of serving as a lottery gaming facility manager or a racetrack gaming facility manager, such manager must submit a written and irrevocable consent to the secretary of state of this state, allowing for any action or garnishment proceeding to be initiated against that manager in the appropriate court of any county within this state, through service of process on a resident agent, and stipulating and agreeing that such service shall be considered valid and binding as if it had been made directly upon that manager. This written consent must declare that the courts of this state possess jurisdiction over the lottery gaming facility manager or racetrack gaming facility manager and serve as the appropriate and convenient forum for such actions, waiving the right to seek a change of jurisdiction or venue to a court outside the state, with all actions arising under this act and initiated by such manager to be filed in this state’s courts as the fitting and convenient venue. This consent must be signed by the lottery gaming facility manager or racetrack gaming facility manager and, if a corporation, by the president and secretary of that corporate manager, accompanied by a certified copy of the order or resolution from the board of directors, trustees, or managers authorizing the president and secretary to sign it.
