A bill for an act providing fees for the filing of a biennial report by business entities with the secretary of state.
HF 997 provides for changes to the filing fees for biennial reports submitted by business corporations to the Secretary of State. Currently, business corporations pay a fixed $60 fee for these reports. This bill removes that fixed statutory fee. Instead, it allows the Secretary of State to determine and collect the filing fee, aligning the process for business corporations with that of other types of business entities.
