C.__The annual report must be executed and signed by a |
general partner or any other duly authorized individual. |
Subject to rules adopted under section 1456, the report must |
be delivered to the Secretary of State or a designee for |
filing. Proof to the satisfaction of the Secretary of State |
that, prior to the date that penalties become effective for |
late delivery of annual reports as established by the |
Secretary of State by rule, the report was deposited in the |
United States mail in a sealed envelope, properly addressed, |
with postage prepaid, or delivered by electronic means as |
provided by the Secretary of State, is deemed a compliance |
with this requirement. One copy of the report, together with |
the filing fee required by this chapter, must be delivered |
for filing to the Secretary of State, who shall file the |
report if the Secretary of State finds that it conforms to |
the requirements of this chapter. If the Secretary of State |
finds that the report does not so conform, the Secretary of |
State shall promptly mail or otherwise return the report to |
the limited partnership for any necessary corrections. The |
penalties prescribed by this chapter for failure to file the |
report within the time provided in this section do not apply |
if the report is corrected to conform to the requirements of |
this chapter and returned to the Secretary of State within |
30 days from the date on which it was so mailed or otherwise |
returned to the limited partnership by the Secretary of |
State. |
