§ 75-g. Notice to persons outside state. 1. Notice required for the

exercise of jurisdiction when a person is outside this state shall be

given in a manner prescribed by the law of this state for service of

process, as provided in paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of this subdivision,

or by the law of the state in which the service is made, as provided in

paragraph (d) of this subdivision. Notice must be given in a manner

reasonably calculated to give actual notice. If a person cannot be

served with notice within the state, the court shall require that such

person be served in a manner reasonably calculated to give actual

notice, as follows:

(a) by personal delivery outside the state in the manner prescribed by

section three hundred thirteen of the civil practice law and rules; or

(b) by any form of mail requesting a receipt; or

(c) in such manner as the court, upon motion, directs, including

publication, if service is impracticable under paragraph (a) or (b) of

this subdivision; or

(d) in such manner as prescribed by the law of the state in which

service is made.

2. Proof of service outside the state shall be by affidavit of the

individual who made the service, or in the manner prescribed by the

order pursuant to which service is made. If service is made by mail,

proof may be by a receipt signed by the addressee or other evidence of

delivery to the addressee. Proof of service may also be in the manner

prescribed by the law of the state in which the service is made.

3. Notice is not required for the exercise of jurisdiction with

respect to a person who submits to the jurisdiction of the court.
