History: P.A. 94-186 effective January 1, 1997; P.A. 96-271 deleted Subsec.

(a) to combine former Subdivs. (2) and (3) into Subdiv. (2), thereby providing that the statement must set forth the street address of the current registered office only if the current registered office is to be changed and combined former Subdivs. (4) and (5) into new Subdiv. (3), thereby providing that the statement must set forth the name of the current registered agent only if the current registered agent is to be changed, effective June 27, 1997; P.A. 11-147 amended Subsec. (b) to rephrase provision re change of street address of registered agent's business office and provide that agent may change address “by delivering a signed written notice of the change to the corporation and delivering to the Secretary of the State for filing a signed statement”, rather than “by notifying the corporation in writing of the change and signing, either manually or in facsimile, and delivering to the Secretary of the State for filing a statement”.
