§425-14 Cancellation of registration. (a) The director may commence a proceeding to cancel the registration of a domestic or foreign general partnership if the partnership fails to:

(1) Pay any fees prescribed by law;

(2) File its annual statement for a period of two years;

(3) Appoint and maintain an agent for service of process as required; or

(4) File a statement of a change in the name or business address of the agent as required under this chapter.

The cancellation of such registration or certificate shall not relieve the partners of liability for the penalties for the failure to file any statement or certificates required by this part.

(b) Within two years after the administrative cancellation of a domestic general partnership under this section, the registration statement of the domestic general partnership may be reinstated by the director upon written application executed by any partner of the domestic general partnership. The application shall:

(1) Recite the name of the domestic general partnership and the effective date of its administrative cancellation;

(2) Contain all statements due and unfiled;

(3) Contain the payment of all delinquent fees and penalties; and

(4) Contain a certificate or other writing from the department of taxation indicating that all taxes owed by the domestic general partnership have been paid, a payment arrangement has been entered into, or the unpaid tax liabilities are being contested in an administrative or judicial appeal with the department of taxation.

(c) Within the applicable reinstatement period, should the name of the domestic general partnership, or a name substantially identical thereto be registered or reserved by another corporation, partnership, limited partnership, limited liability company, or limited liability partnership, or should such name or a name substantially identical thereto be registered as a trade name, trademark, or service mark, then reinstatement shall be allowed only upon the registration of a new name by the administratively canceled domestic general partnership pursuant to the amendment provisions of this chapter.

(d) When the reinstatement is effective, it relates back to and takes effect as of the effective date of the administrative cancellation and the domestic general partnership may resume its business as if the administrative cancellation had never occurred.
