Bill Summary
An act relating to principal offices of limited liability companies and corporations; amending ss. 605.0113 and 607.0501, F.S.; providing that a limited liability company or corporation, foreign or domestic, may designate its registered agent's address as the principal office of such company or corporation; requiring that certain limited liability companies or corporations, foreign or domestic, provide the Department of State with the physical address of a named member or manager of such company or corporation; providing an effective date.
AI Summary
This bill allows both limited liability companies (LLCs) and corporations, whether formed in Florida or elsewhere (foreign), to use their registered agent's address as their principal office if they don't have a separate designated principal office. A registered agent is the official point of contact for legal and official notices. However, if an LLC or corporation chooses to use its registered agent's address as its principal office, it must then provide the Department of State with the physical street address of a named member or manager for an LLC, or a named officer or director for a corporation. This change aims to simplify the process of designating a principal office for these business entities and will take effect on July 1, 2026.
