DRAFTER'S NOTE: This deletes an extraneous conjunction in §

The extraneous conjunction, "and", was contained in
Ch. 520 of the Acts of 1972. The extraneous
conjunction was noted by the Computer Division of the
Department of Legislative Reference.

duties, where service of process is effected pursuant to the
