Section 1667 - Failure to file annual report; incorrect report; penalties1.Failure to file; penalty. A limited liability company or foreign limited liability company that is required to deliver an annual report for filing as provided by section 1665 that fails to deliver its properly completed annual report to the Secretary of State shall pay, in addition to the regular annual report fee, the late filing penalty set forth in section 1680, subsection 10 as long as the report is received by the Secretary of State prior to revocation or administrative dissolution. Upon a limited liability company's failure to file the annual report and to pay the annual report fee or the penalty, the Secretary of State, notwithstanding Title 4, chapter 5 and Title 5, chapter 375, shall revoke a foreign limited liability company's authority to do business in this State and administratively dissolve a limited liability company. The Secretary of State shall use the procedures set forth in section 1592 to administratively dissolve a limited liability company and the procedures set forth in section 1626 to revoke a foreign limited liability company's authority to transact business in this State. A limited liability company that has been administratively dissolved under section 1592 must follow the requirements set forth in section 1603 to reinstate. [2011, c. 113, Pt. B, §12(AMD).]
