(1) A foreign limited partnership whose certificate of authority was administratively revoked under s. 620.1906 may apply to the Department of State for reinstatement at any time after the effective date of revocation of the certificate of authority. The foreign limited partnership must submit a form of reinstatement prescribed and furnished by the Department of State together with all fees then owed by the foreign limited partnership, computed at a rate provided by law at the time the foreign limited partnership applies for reinstatement.
(2) As an alternative to submitting the form of reinstatement referred to in subsection (1), the foreign limited partnership may submit a current annual report, signed by its registered agent and a general partner, which contains the same information described in subsection (1).
(3) If the Department of State determines that the application for reinstatement or the current annual report described in subsection (2) contains the information required by subsection (1) and that the information is correct, it shall reinstate the foreign limited partnership’s certificate of authority.
(4) When the reinstatement becomes effective, the reinstatement relates back to and takes effect as of the effective date of the administrative revocation, and the foreign limited partnership may resume its activities as if the administrative revocation had never occurred.
