Registered agents; authorize Secretary of State to remove fraudulent address and expand timeframe for returning documents refused for filing.

HB 1467 allows Mississippi residents who live at an address listed as a business's registered agent office (but didn’t authorize its use) to request the Secretary of State remove that address from public records. To do this, the occupant must submit a sworn form verifying they live there, the address isn’t authorized for business use, and the business isn’t associated with the residence. The bill also extends the timeframe for the Secretary of State to return documents refused for filing (to 30 days), giving businesses more time to correct issues before appealing. This directly affects businesses using residential addresses for registered agents and residents seeking to prevent misuse of their addresses.
