§ 7-12.1-913. Annual report for secretary of state.
(a) A limited liability partnership or registered foreign limited liability partnership shall deliver to the secretary of state for filing an annual report that states:
(1) The name of the partnership or registered foreign partnership;
(2) The street and mailing addresses of its principal office;
(3) The name of at least one partner;
(4) In the case of a foreign partnership, its jurisdiction of formation and any alternate name adopted under § 7-12.1-1006;
(5) A brief statement of the character of the business in which the limited liability partnership is actually engaged in this state; and
(6) Any additional information that is required by the secretary of state.
(b) The annual report must be made on forms prescribed and furnished by the secretary of state, and the information in the annual report must be current as of the date the report is signed by the limited liability partnership or registered foreign limited liability partnership.
(c) The first annual report must be filed with the secretary of state after February 1, and before May 1, of the year following the calendar year in which the limited liability partnership’s statement of qualification became effective or the registered foreign limited liability partnership registered to do business in this state. Subsequent annual reports must be filed with the secretary of state after February 1, and before May 1, of each calendar year thereafter. Proof to the satisfaction of the secretary of state that prior to May 1 the report was deposited in the United States mail in a sealed envelope, properly addressed, with postage prepaid, is deemed to be a compliance with this requirement.
(d) If the secretary of state finds that the annual report conforms to the requirements of this chapter, the secretary of state shall file the report. If an annual report does not contain the information required by this section, the secretary of state promptly shall notify the reporting limited liability partnership or registered foreign limited liability partnership in a record and return the report for correction, in which event the penalties subsequently prescribed for failure to file the report within the time previously provided do not apply if the report is corrected to conform to the requirements of this chapter and returned to the secretary of state within thirty (30) days from the date on which it was mailed to the limited liability partnership by the secretary of state.
(e) Each limited liability partnership, domestic or foreign, that fails or refuses to file its annual report for any year within thirty (30) days after the time prescribed by this chapter is subject to a penalty of twenty-five dollars ($25.00) per year.
