56a-1201. Domestic limited liability partnerships; business entity information report; report fee. (a) Every limited liability partnership organized under the laws of this state shall make a written business entity information report to the secretary of state, stating the prescribed information concerning the limited liability partnership at the close of business on the last day of its tax period next preceding the date of filing. If the limited liability partnership's tax period is other than the calendar year, it shall give notice of its different tax period in writing to the secretary of state prior to December 31 of the year it commences the different tax period.

(b) The report shall be filed biennially, as determined by the year that the limited liability partnership filed its limited liability partnership formation documents.* A limited liability partnership that filed formation documents in an even-numbered year shall file a report in each even-numbered year. A limited liability partnership that filed formation documents in an odd-numbered year shall file a report in each odd-numbered year. The report shall be filed after the close of the limited liability partnership's tax period but not later than at the time prescribed by law for filing the limited liability partnership's annual Kansas income tax return.

(c) The report shall be made on a form prescribed by the secretary of state and shall contain the following information:

(1) The name of the limited liability partnership;

(2) a list of the partners owning at least 5% of the capital of the partnership, with the postal address for each; and

(3) the location of the principal office, including the building and suite number, street name or rural route number with box number, city, state and zip code.

(d) The report shall be signed by a partner of the limited liability partnership under penalty of perjury and forwarded to the secretary of state.

(e) At the time of filing its business entity information report, the limited liability partnership shall pay to the secretary of state a fee in an amount equal to $80, plus the amount specified in rules and regulations of the secretary multiplied by the number of tax periods included in the report.

(f) The provisions of K.S.A. 17-7509, and amendments thereto, relating to penalties for failure of a corporation to file a business entity information report or pay the required fee, and the provisions of K.S.A. 17-7510(a), and amendments thereto, relating to penalties for failure of a corporation to file a business entity information report or pay the required fee, shall be applicable to the statement of qualification of any limited liability partnership that fails to file its business entity information report or pay the required fee within 90 days of the time prescribed in this section for filing and paying the same or, in the case of a report filing and fee received by mail, postmarked within 90 days of the time prescribed in this section for filing and paying the same. Whenever the statement of qualification of a limited liability partnership is forfeited for failure to file a business entity information report or to pay the required fee, the limited liability partnership may be reinstated by filing a certificate of reinstatement, in the manner and form to be prescribed by the secretary of state, and all past due business entity information reports for the immediately preceding 10 years, and payment to the secretary an amount equal to all fees and any penalties due. The fee for filing a certificate of reinstatement shall be the same as that prescribed by K.S.A. 17-7506, and amendments thereto, for filing a certificate of reinstatement of a corporation's articles of incorporation.
