Every action for the involuntary dissolution of a corporation shall be commenced by the attorney general in the district court of the county in which the registered office of the corporation is situated. Original notice shall be served as in other civil actions. If process is returned not found, the attorney general shall cause publication to be made as in other civil cases in some newspaper published in the county where the registered office of the corporation is situated, containing a notice of the pendency of such action, the title of the court, the title of the action, and the date on or after which default may be entered. The attorney general may include in one notice and in one petition the names of any number of corporations against which actions are then pending in the same county. The attorney general shall cause a copy of such notice to be mailed to the corporation at its registered office within ten days after the first publication thereof. The certificate of the attorney general of the mailing of such notice shall be prima facie evidence thereof. Such notice shall be published at least once each week for two successive weeks, and the first publication thereof may begin at any time after the original notice has been returned. Unless a corporation shall have been served with original notice, no default shall be taken against it earlier than thirty days after the last publication of such notice.
