The procedures require the attorney general to notify the entity's registered agent. If the entity does not reply within 21 days after the notification, another notice is mailed, and if the entity does not reply to that notice within 21 days, the complaint is deemed to be conceded. The bill:</p><p><ul><li>Authorizes the attorney general to provide written notice to any other point of contact that the attorney general determines through investigation to be a means to reach the entity, if the address of the registered agent is the same as the address of the complainant;</li><li>Repeals the second 21-day notice period; <strike>and</strike></li><li>Authorizes a person that is injured by such a violation to bring an action to dissolve the entity; <i>and</i></li><li> <i>Authorizes the secretary to the mentioned actions against another entity that also uses the same fraudulent or unauthorized entity.</i></li></ul></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under current law, actions to dissolve an entity must be brought in the district court for the county where the entity's principal office is located; if the entity has no principal office in this state, where the registered agent is located; or, if the entity has no registered agent, in Denver. The bill authorizes the action to be brought in Denver when the dissolution is based on a fraudulent filing.<br/></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <i>To implement the bill, $193,954 is appropriated from the department of state cash fund to the department of state.</i></p><p><br/><i>(Note: Italicized words indicate new material added to the original summary; dashes through words indicate deletions from the original summary.)</i><br/><i>(Note: This summary applies to the reengrossed version of this bill as introduced in the second house.)</i></p></body></html>",
