(a) Each registered limited liability partnership shall file an annual report by electronic transmission with the Secretary of the State, which report shall be due upon the anniversary of the filing of a certificate of limited liability partnership pursuant to section 34-419. Upon request of a registered limited liability partnership, the Secretary of the State may grant an exemption from the requirement to file an annual report by electronic transmission if the registered limited liability partnership does not have the capability to file by electronic transmission or make payment in an authorized manner by electronic means or if other good cause is shown.
(b) Each annual report shall set forth: (1) The name of the registered limited liability partnership; (2) the registered limited liability partnership's current principal office address; (3) the electronic mail address, if any, of the registered limited liability partnership; (4) the name and address of the registered agent; and (5) such additional information, including the North American Industry Classification System Code, that the Secretary deems pertinent for determining the principal purpose of the limited liability partnership.
(c) Each annual report shall be executed in accordance with section 34-410 and be accompanied by the filing fee established in section 34-413. The Secretary of the State shall deliver to each registered limited liability partnership at its principal office or electronic mail address, as shown on the Secretary's records, notice that the annual report is due, but failure to receive such notice shall not relieve a registered limited liability partnership of the requirement of filing the report as provided in this section.
