Bill Summary
This bill expands the filing fee exception for a student entrepreneur who forms a limited liability company (LLC). Current law establishes a fee of $130 for filing LLC articles of organization with the Department of Financial Institutions. However, DFI may not collect this fee if the LLC members or organizers are all student entrepreneurs. A “student entrepreneur" is defined as a student who is at least 18 years of age, enrolled in a postsecondary institution in this state, and an organizer or member of an LLC formed as a business start-up. This bill expands the definition of “student entrepreneur” to include a student enrolled in a public, private, or tribal high school in this state. For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
AI Summary
This bill expands the definition of "student entrepreneur" to include students enrolled in public, private, or tribal high schools in the state, in addition to the current definition of students enrolled in postsecondary institutions. This allows high school student entrepreneurs to be exempt from the $130 filing fee for forming a limited liability company (LLC) with the Department of Financial Institutions (DFI). The bill applies to articles of organization filed on or after the effective date, which is the first day of the second month after the bill's publication.
