(WHOLE SECTION TEXT EFFECTIVE UNTIL 7/1/11)

1. Failure to file annual report; penalty. A domestic or foreign limited liability company that is required to deliver an annual report for filing as provided by section 757 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 described in section 751, subsection 26, 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 domestic limited liability company. The Secretary of State shall use the procedures set forth in section 608-B to administratively dissolve a domestic limited liability company and the procedures set forth in section 719-B to revoke a foreign limited liability company's authority to transact business in this State. A domestic limited liability company that has been administratively dissolved under section 608-B must follow the requirements set forth in section 608-C to reinstate.
