Provides that service of the process shall meet the requirements of the Code set forth in Sections concerning forms of process and persons authorized to serve process; place of service; and failure to make return. Provides that the person serving the process shall execute and submit an affidavit confirming that the person, corporation, or agent or officer of a corporation uses a post office box as a principal mailing address and that the person serving the process has served the process in accordance with the new provisions.
