     § 134.  Docketing statement.
        (a)  General rule.--The Department of State may, but shall
     not be required to, prescribe by regulation one or more official
     docketing statement forms designed to elicit from a person
     effecting a filing under this title information that the
     department has found to be necessary or desirable in connection
     with the processing of a filing. A form of docketing statement
     prescribed under this subsection:
            (1)  Shall be published in the Pennsylvania Code.
            (2)  Shall not be integrated into a single document
        covering the requirements of the filing and its related
        docketing statement.
            (3)  May be required by the department in connection with
        a filing only if notice of the requirement appears on the
        official format for the filing prescribed under section
        133(d) (relating to physical characteristics and copies of
        documents).
            (4)  Shall not be required to be submitted on department-
        furnished forms.
            (5)  Shall not constitute a document filed in, with or by
        the department for the purposes of this title or any other
        provision of law except 18 Pa.C.S. § 4904 (relating to
        unsworn falsification to authorities).
        (b)  Transmission to Department of Revenue.--The department
     shall note on the docketing statement the fact and date of the
     filing to which the docketing statement relates and shall
     transmit a copy of the docketing statement or the information
     contained therein to the Department of Revenue. If a docketing
     statement is not required for a particular filing, the
     Department of State may transmit a copy of the filing or the
     information contained therein to the Department of Revenue at no
     cost to the person effecting the filing.
        (c)  Transmission to other agencies.--If the docketing
     statement delivered to the Department of State sets forth any
     kind of business in which a corporation, partnership or other
     association may not engage without the approval of or a license
     from any department, board or commission of the Commonwealth,
     the Department of State shall, upon processing the filing,
     promptly transmit a copy of the docketing statement or the
     information contained therein to each such department, board or
     commission.
