Bill Summary
Relative to filing fees for limited liability companies. State Administration and Regulatory Oversight.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to amend existing law regarding filing fees for limited liability companies (LLCs), which are business structures that offer liability protection to their owners. Specifically, it changes the fee for filing a certificate of organization, which is the document needed to officially create an LLC, to a flat rate of five hundred dollars. The bill also adjusts the fee for filing an annual report, a required document for LLCs to maintain their legal standing. Under this bill, the annual report filing fee will be two hundred and fifty dollars for LLCs with five or fewer employees, and five hundred dollars for those with more than five employees. These fees are to be paid to the state secretary when the respective documents are filed.
