§ 25.10.555. Revocation of registration -- Notice -- Opportunity to correct deficiencies
(1) If the secretary of state determines that one or more grounds exist under RCW 25.10.553 for revocation of a foreign limited partnership's registration, the secretary of state shall give the foreign limited partnership written notice of the determination by first-class mail, postage prepaid, stating in the notice the ground or grounds for and effective date of the secretary of state's determination, which date shall not be earlier than the date on which the notice is mailed.
(2) If 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 within sixty days after notice is effective, the secretary of state shall revoke the foreign limited partnership's registration by signing a certificate of revocation that recites the ground or grounds for revocation and its effective date. The secretary of state shall file the original of the certificate and mail a copy to the foreign limited partnership.
(3) Documents to be mailed by the secretary of state to a foreign limited partnership for which provision is made in this section shall be sent to the foreign limited partnership at the address of the agent for service of process contained in the application or certificate of this partnership which is most recently filed with the secretary of state.
(4) The authority of a foreign limited partnership to transact business in this state ceases on the date shown on the certificate revoking its registration.
(5) The secretary of state's revocation of a foreign limited partnership's registration appoints the secretary of state the foreign limited partnership's agent for service of process in any proceeding based on a cause of action which arose during the time the foreign limited partnership was authorized to transact business in this state.
(6) Revocation of a foreign limited partnership's registration does not terminate the authority of the registered agent of the foreign limited partnership.
