(c) If within 60 days after service of the copy of the record of determination the foreign limited partnership does not correct each ground for revocation or demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of the Secretary of State that each ground determined by the Secretary of State does not exist, the Secretary of State shall revoke the certificate of authority of the foreign limited partnership by preparing, signing, and filing a declaration of revocation that states the grounds for the revocation. The Secretary of State shall send a copy of the filed declaration to the foreign limited partnership's agent for service of process in this State, or if the foreign limited partnership does not appoint and maintain a proper agent, to the foreign limited partnership's designated office.

(f) Each month the Secretary of State shall, by written notice, advise the Chief Clerk of the Illinois Commerce Commission of any foreign limited partnership on the list maintained under subsection (e) whose authority to do business in Illinois has been revoked within the month.
(g) The Secretary of State and the Illinois Commerce Commission may provide each other the information required under this Section in an electronic format, including, without limitation by means of such agreed access, those records of the Secretary of State that will provide the Illinois Commerce Commission the information it requires under the statutes it administers. The provision of information under this Section shall begin as soon as is practicable, but in no event later than October 1, 2020.
