Bill > SB0442

This bill modifies multiple sections of Tennessee state law related to registered agents, specifically changing the requirements for how a registered agent resigns from their position. Currently, when a registered agent wants to resign, they must file a copy of their original resignation statement with various state entities. Under this bill, instead of submitting a copy of the resignation statement, the registered agent will now be required to file a certification with the secretary of state that they have mailed written notice of their resignation to the principal office of the entity they are leaving. The bill amends ten different sections of Tennessee Code Annotated across several titles, including those related to business entities, corporations, limited liability companies, and other specific industries like alcoholic beverages. These changes appear to standardize and streamline the process for registered agents to resign from their positions across different types of organizations. The modifications aim to simplify administrative procedures while ensuring that entities are properly notified when their registered agent chooses to step down. The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law, as stated in the final section.
