Section 178.09032. Procedure for and effect of administrative revocation.

 

(1)  If the department determines that one or more grounds exist under s. 178.09031 for revoking a limited liability partnership's statement of qualification, the department may give the partnership notice of the determination. The notice shall be in writing and addressed to the registered office of the partnership.

(2)  

(a) Within 60 days after the notice under sub. (1) takes effect under s. 178.0103 (6) , the partnership shall, with respect to each ground for revocation, either correct it or demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of the department that it does not exist.

(b) If the partnership fails to satisfy par. (a) , the department may revoke the partnership's statement of qualification. The department shall enter a notation in its records to reflect each ground for revocation and the effective date of revocation and shall give the partnership notice of those facts. The notice shall be in writing and addressed to the registered office of the partnership.

(3)  

(a) If a notice under sub. (1) or (2) (b) is returned to the department as undeliverable, the department shall again give notice to the partnership. Except as provided under par. (b) , this notice shall be in writing and addressed to the principal office of the partnership.

(b) If the notice under par. (a) is returned to the department as undeliverable or if the partnership's principal office cannot be determined from the records of the department, the department shall give the notice by posting the notice on the department's Internet site.

(4)  A revocation under sub. (2) (b) affects only the partnership's status as a limited liability partnership and is not an event of dissolution of the partnership.

(5)  The partnership's right to the exclusive use of its partnership name terminates on the effective date of the revocation of its statement of qualification.
