(a) Every foreign limited liability partnership shall make a written business entity information report to the secretary of state, stating the prescribed information concerning the foreign limited liability partnership at the close of business on the last day of its tax period next preceding the date of filing. If the foreign limited liability partnership’s tax period is other than the calendar year, it shall give notice in writing of its different tax period 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 foreign limited liability partnership filed its foreign limited liability partnership application.* A foreign limited liability partnership that filed its application in an even-numbered year shall file a report in each even-numbered year. A foreign limited liability partnership that filed its application in an odd-numbered year shall file a report in each odd-numbered year. The report shall be filed after the close of the foreign limited liability partnership’s tax period but not later than at the time prescribed by law for filing the foreign 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:

(1) The name of the foreign limited liability partnership; and

(2) 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 foreign 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 foreign 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 Kan. Stat. Ann. § 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 Kan. Stat. Ann. § 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 foreign qualification of any foreign 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 foreign qualification of a foreign limited liability partnership is forfeited for failure to file a business entity information report or to pay the required fee, the statement of foreign qualification of the foreign 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 of state 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 Kan. Stat. Ann. § 17-7506, and amendments thereto, for filing a certificate of reinstatement of a corporation’s articles of incorporation.
