This bill allows most South Dakota businesses and organizations to choose between two annual report filing deadlines: either on the anniversary month of when they were formed, or by January 31st each year. Companies that are already in good standing can switch between these two filing dates by submitting a form to the Secretary of State, giving them more flexibility in managing their reporting obligations.
The amendment establishes a specific January thirty-first deadline for limited liability companies and partnerships' annual reports, replacing the previous first-day-of-second-month requirement for these entities, effective January 1, 2027.
The amendment clarified the filing deadline for limited liability companies and partnerships by specifying that those authorized in January must file by January 31st of the ensuing year, while all others must file by January 31st of each year.
The amendment expands the bill's scope from rescheduling filing dates for limited liability companies and partnerships to all entities required to file annual reports, and establishes two optional filing date schedules.
The amendment removed outdated engrossing notation and added official enrollment language and signature blocks, but made no substantive policy changes to the bill's content.
