2. If any person, including any nonresident of this state, engages in conduct prohibited by this chapter or any rule or regulation or order hereunder, and has not filed a consent to service of process and personal jurisdiction over that person cannot otherwise be obtained in this state, that conduct authorizes the commission to receive service of process in any noncriminal proceeding against that person or that person's successor which grows out of that conduct and which is brought under this chapter or any rule or regulation or order hereunder, with the same force and validity as if served on that person personally. Notice must be given as provided in subsection 1.
