Description

Business entities; registered agents and offices.  Provides that a statement of change of a business entity's registered agent, registered office, or both, may be filed electronically with the office of the clerk of the State Corporation Commission. The measure also provides that a registered agent may mail a copy of a statement of change or a statement of resignation to the business entity on or before the business day following the day on which such statement is filed with the clerk's office. Currently, a statement of change or resignation is required to include a statement that it has been mailed to the business entity, which does not accommodate their electronic filing. The measure also eliminates variances in terminology in parallel sections that address changes of registered offices and registered agents of stock and nonstock corporations, limited liability companies, business trusts, limited partnerships, and registered limited liability partnerships.
