| 3 | replacing everything after the enacting clause with the | ||||||
| 4 | following:
| ||||||
| 5 | "Section 5. The Limited Liability Company Act is amended by | ||||||
| 6 | adding Section 1-26 as follows: | ||||||
| 7 | (805 ILCS 180/1-26 new) | ||||||
| 8 | Sec. 1-26. Certificate of Registration; Department of | ||||||
| 9 | Financial and Professional Regulation. This Section applies | ||||||
| 10 | only to a limited liability company that intends to provide, or | ||||||
| 11 | does provide, professional services that require the | ||||||
| 12 | individuals engaged in the profession to be licensed by the | ||||||
| 13 | Department of Financial and Professional Regulation. A limited | ||||||
| 14 | liability company covered by this Section shall not open, | ||||||
| 15 | operate, or maintain an establishment for any of the purposes | ||||||
| 16 | for which a limited liability company may be organized under | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | this Act without obtaining a certificate of registration from | ||||||
| 2 | the Department. | ||||||
| 3 | Application for such registration shall be made in writing | ||||||
| 4 | and shall contain the name and address of the limited liability | ||||||
| 5 | company and such other information as may be required by the | ||||||
| 6 | Department. Upon receipt of such application, the Department | ||||||
| 7 | shall make an investigation of the limited liability company. | ||||||
| 8 | If the Department finds that the organizers, managers, and | ||||||
| 9 | members are each licensed pursuant to the laws of Illinois to | ||||||
| 10 | engage in the particular profession or related professions | ||||||
| 11 | involved (except that an initial organizer may be a licensed | ||||||
| 12 | attorney) and if no disciplinary action is pending before the | ||||||
| 13 | Department against any of them and if it appears that the | ||||||
| 14 | limited liability company will be conducted in compliance with | ||||||
| 15 | the law and the rules and regulations of the Department, the | ||||||
| 16 | Department shall issue, upon payment of a registration fee of | ||||||
| 17 | $50, a certificate of registration. | ||||||
| 18 | Upon written application of the holder, the Department | ||||||
| 19 | shall renew the certificate if it finds that the limited | ||||||
| 20 | liability company has complied with its regulations and the | ||||||
| 21 | provisions of this Act and the applicable licensing Act. This | ||||||
| 22 | fee for the renewal of a certificate of registration shall be | ||||||
| 23 | calculated at the rate of $40 per year.
The certificate of | ||||||
| 24 | registration shall be conspicuously posted upon the premises to | ||||||
| 25 | which it is applicable, and the limited liability company shall | ||||||
| 26 | have only those offices which are designated by street address | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | in the articles of organization, or as changed by amendment of | ||||||
| 2 | such articles. A certificate of registration shall not be | ||||||
| 3 | assignable.
| ||||||
| 4 | Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon | ||||||
| 5 | becoming law.".
