A bill for an act providing for an expedited filing service for filers of business documents administered by the secretary of state, and providing fees.
SF 285 establishes an expedited filing service for business documents processed by the Secretary of State. This service allows filers, such as businesses, to pay an additional surcharge to have their documents processed more quickly. Surcharges vary based on the desired speed: $200 for one-hour service, $125 for same-day, $50 for two-day, and $15 for five-day service, in addition to regular filing fees. The Secretary of State must provide written confirmation of an expedited filing, and all collected surcharges will be deposited into the business administration fund.
