Information maintained by the Legislative
Reference Bureau
Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.

(805 ILCS 206/1103)
Sec. 1103. Effect of failure to qualify.
(a) A foreign limited liability partnership transacting business in this
State may not maintain
an action or proceeding in this State unless it has in effect a statement of
foreign qualification.
(b) The failure of a foreign limited liability partnership to have in effect
a statement of foreign
qualification does not impair the validity of a contract or act of the foreign
limited liability
partnership or preclude it from defending an action or proceeding in this
State.
(c) A limitation on personal liability of a partner is not waived solely by
transacting business
in this State without a statement of foreign qualification.
(d) If a foreign limited liability partnership transacts business in this
State without a statement
of foreign qualification, the Secretary of State is its agent for service of
process with respect to a
right of action arising out of the transaction of business in this State.
(e) Service of any process, notice, or demand on the Secretary of State may be made by delivering to and leaving with the Secretary of State duplicate copies of the process, notice, or demand. If a process, notice, or demand is served on the Secretary of State, the Secretary of State shall forward one of the copies by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to the foreign limited liability partnership and its designated office. An affidavit of compliance with this Section in substantially the form that the Secretary of State may prescribe by rule shall be attached to the process, notice, or demand. (f) Service is effected under subsection (e) at the earliest of: (1) the date the foreign limited liability | | partnership receives the process, notice, or demand;
|
| (2) the date shown on the return receipt, if signed
| | on behalf of the foreign limited liability partnership; or
|
| (3) 5 days after the process, notice, or demand is
| | deposited in the mail if mailed postpaid and correctly addressed.
|
| (g) The Secretary of State shall keep a record of each process, notice, and demand served pursuant to this Section and record the time of, and the action taken, regarding the service.
