What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

This bill allows a corporation, limited liability company, limited liability partnership, or incorporated cooperative to select the month in which it will file its annual report with the Department of Financial Institutions and file the annual report on any day within that month on which DFI receives such filings.

Current law requires a domestic corporation, LLC, LLP, or cooperative to deliver its annual report to DFI during the calendar year quarter in which the anniversary date of the business's formation occurs. For a foreign corporation, LLC, or LLP, the annual report must be delivered to DFI during the first quarter of each calendar year, regardless of when it became authorized to do business in Wisconsin.

Read the full summary

This bill allows these domestic business entities to identify in their articles of incorporation, articles of organization, or statements of qualification, as applicable, the month in which they will file their annual reports. A foreign business entity may identify, in its registration to do business in Wisconsin, the month in which it will file its annual report. For both domestic and foreign business entities, if the business entity does not identify such a month, the deadlines under current law for filing an annual report continue to apply.
