Bill > HB0499

This bill modifies multiple sections of Tennessee law related to registered agents, specifically changing the requirements for how a registered agent resigns from their role. Currently, when a registered agent wants to resign, they must file a copy of their resignation statement with the relevant entity. The bill replaces this requirement with a mandate that the registered agent file a certification with the secretary of state confirming that they have mailed written notice of their resignation to the principal office of the entity they represent. This change applies to various types of business and professional entities, including corporations, limited liability companies, nonprofit corporations, and entities in industries such as alcoholic beverages. The modifications are consistent across multiple sections of Tennessee Code Annotated, suggesting a comprehensive update to standardize the resignation process for registered agents. The bill takes effect immediately upon becoming law, with the stated purpose of serving the public welfare by potentially simplifying and streamlining the process of changing registered agents for businesses and organizations.
