AB 2221 California Assembly · 2013-2014 Regular Session

Business Filing Coordination Council.

Summary

Existing law requires certain business entities, including, but not limited to, a corporation, a limited partnership, and a limited liability partnership, to make various business filings with the Secretary of State. Existing law authorizes the Secretary of State to promulgate regulations and rules related to business filings and to refuse a filing based on a reasonable belief that the filing is unlawful, false, or has a fraudulent purpose. This bill would establish, within the Secretary of State's office, the Business Filing Coordination Council composed of 7 members, as specified. The bill would require the council to, among other things, provide businesses with additional points of contact for concerns or suggested innovations for improving the state business climate through streamlined business filings and annually report to the Governor and Legislature on the progress of meeting its requirements.
