Subdivision 1. Personal jurisdiction. As to any cause of action arising undersections 116B.01to116B.13, the district court may exercise personal jurisdiction over any foreign corporation or any nonresident individual in the same manner as if it were a domestic corporation or the individual were a resident of this state. This section applies if, in person or through an agent, the foreign corporation or nonresident individual:
(1) commits or threatens to commit any act in the state that would impair, pollute, or destroy the air, water, land, or other natural resources located within the state;
(2) commits or threatens to commit any act outside the state that would impair, pollute, or destroy the air, water, land, or other natural resources located within the state; or
(3) engages in any other of the activities specified insection 543.19.
Subd. 2. Service of process. The service of process on any person who is subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of this state, as provided in this section, may be made by personally serving the summons upon the defendant outside this state with the same effect as though the summons had been personally served within this state.
Subd. 3. Allowable causes of action. Only causes of action arising from acts enumerated or referenced in subdivision 1 may be asserted against a defendant in an action in which jurisdiction over the defendant is based upon this section.
Subd. 4. Other law. Nothing contained in this section shall limit or affect the right to serve any process in any other manner now or hereafter provided by law or the Minnesota Rules of Civil Procedure.
