An Act relative to a business entity
This bill updates the rules for registering and managing limited partnerships in Massachusetts by the Secretary of State. It removes a requirement to include a federal employer identification number on partnership forms and establishes a clear process for revoking a partnership's registration if it fails to file annual reports or pay fees within 20 days of notice. The legislation also introduces new options for partners to fix minor mistakes in their filed documents through a $100 correction certificate and allows for a $100 fee to preview filings before they are officially submitted. Additionally, the bill permits the Secretary of State to accept electronic submissions and sets specific procedures for notifying partnerships about compliance issues.
