thereafter, file its list of general partners and registered agent. The initial list fee is $150.00. Forms will be mailed to
you upon the filing of your registration and annually thereafter to the entity’s registered agent. Failure to receive a
notice or form does not excuse an entity from the penalty for late filing.
