Sec. 34-32b. Cancellation by forfeiture for failure to maintain statutory agent for service.

      Sec. 34-32b. Cancellation by forfeiture for failure to maintain statutory agent for service. (a) The Secretary of the State may effect the cancellation of a limited partnership by forfeiture as provided in this section.

      (b) Whenever it comes to the attention of the Secretary of the State that a limited partnership has failed to maintain a statutory agent for service, the Secretary of the State may notify such limited partnership by registered or certified mail or mail evidenced by a certificate of mailing addressed to such limited partnership at its address as last shown on his records that under the provisions of this section the limited partnership's rights and powers are prima facie forfeited. Unless the limited partnership within three months of the mailing of such notice files an appointment of statutory agent for service, the Secretary of the State shall prepare and file in his office a certificate of cancellation by forfeiture stating that the delinquent limited partnership's certificate has been cancelled by forfeiture by reason of its default.

      (c) Cancellation shall be effective upon the filing by the Secretary of the State in his office of such certificate of cancellation by forfeiture.

      (d) After filing the certificate of cancellation by forfeiture, the Secretary of the State shall: (1) Send a certified copy thereof to the delinquent limited partnership, by registered or certified mail or mail evidenced by a certificate of mailing, at its address as last shown on his records; and (2) cause notice of the filing of such certificate of cancellation by forfeiture to be published in two successive issues of the Connecticut Law Journal.
