Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

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 215/809

    (805 ILCS 215/809)
    Sec. 809. Administrative dissolution.

(a) The Secretary of State may dissolve a limited partnership administratively if the limited partnership does not, within 60 days after the due date:

(1) pay any fee, tax, or penalty due to the Secretary

of State under this Act or other law;

(2) file its annual report with the Secretary of

State; or

(3) appoint and maintain an agent for service of

process in Illinois after a registered agent's notice of resignation under Section 116.

(b) If the Secretary of State determines that a ground exists for administratively dissolving a limited partnership, the Secretary of State shall file a record of the determination and send a copy of the filed record to the limited partnership's agent for service of process in this State, or if the limited partnership does not appoint and maintain a proper agent, to the limited partnership's designated office.

(c) If within 60 days after service of the copy of the record of determination the limited partnership does not correct each ground for dissolution 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 administratively dissolve the limited partnership by preparing, signing, and filing a declaration of dissolution that states the grounds for dissolution. The Secretary of State shall send a copy to the limited partnership's agent for service of process in this State, or if the limited partnership does not appoint and maintain a proper agent, to the limited partnership's designated office.

(d) A limited partnership administratively dissolved continues its existence but may carry on only activities necessary or appropriate to wind up its activities under Sections 803 and 812 and to notify claimants under Sections 806 and 807.

(e) The administrative dissolution of a limited partnership does not terminate the authority of its agent for service of process.

(f)  The Secretary of State shall, from information received from the Illinois Commerce Commission, compile and keep a list of all domestic limited partnerships that are regulated pursuant to the provisions of the Public Utilities Act, or the Collateral Recovery Act, or the Personal Property Storage Act, or Chapter 18a, 18c, or 18d of the Illinois Vehicle Code and which hold, as a prerequisite for doing business in this State, any franchise, license, permit, or right to engage in any business regulated by such Acts.

(g) Each month the Secretary of State shall, by written notice, advise the Chief Clerk of the Illinois Commerce Commission of any domestic limited partnership on the list maintained under subsection (f) that has been dissolved within the month.

(h) 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.
