Bill Summary

AN ACT relating to corporations, partnerships and associations; amending the grounds for administrative dissolution, revocation and forfeiture to include providing false or fraudulent information to the registered agent; and providing for an effective date.

AI Summary

This bill amends several Wyoming state laws related to corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies, and statutory foundations by adding a new ground for administrative dissolution, revocation, or forfeiture of business entities. Specifically, the bill allows the secretary of state to take administrative action against an organization if it has provided false or fraudulent information to its registered agent. This determination can be made during or after an examination of the organization's records or following notification by the registered agent. The bill applies to various types of business entities, including domestic and foreign corporations, limited liability companies, and statutory foundations. The new provision is part of a broader set of circumstances under which the state can take action against a business entity, such as failing to correct false information or being unable to be served by a registered agent. The bill aims to enhance the state's ability to maintain accurate business records and prevent potential fraud by giving the secretary of state more tools to address misrepresentation of information. The act becomes effective immediately upon completion of the necessary legislative procedures.
