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

HB 1416 proposes to let current homeowners request removal of a fraudulent registered agent address listed at their residence. It requires the occupant to submit a sworn form confirming they don't associate with the listed agent, after which the Secretary of State must remove the address from public records. The bill also clarifies that the Secretary of State must return refused business documents within 30 days (maintaining the existing timeframe, not expanding it as the title suggests). The bill died in committee on February 3, 2026, and did not become law.
