Chapter 88A - Business Trusts
NRS 88A.600 - Filing requirements; fee; notice; regulations.


1. A business trust formed pursuant to this chapter shall, at the time of the filing of its certificate of trust with the Secretary of State, or, if the business trust has selected an alternative due date pursuant to subsection 9, on or before that alternative due date, and annually thereafter on or before the last day of the month in which the anniversary date of the filing of its certificate of trust with the Secretary of State occurs, file with the Secretary of State, or, if applicable, on or before the last day of the month in which the anniversary date of the alternative due date occurs in each year, on a form furnished by the Secretary of State, a list signed by at least one trustee, or by some other person specifically authorized by the business trust to sign the list, that contains the name and street address of at least one trustee. Each list filed pursuant to this subsection must be accompanied by a declaration under penalty of perjury that:
(a) The business trust has complied with the provisions of chapter 76 of NRS;
(b) The business trust acknowledges that pursuant to NRS 239.330, it is a category C felony to knowingly offer any false or forged instrument for filing in the Office of the Secretary of State; and
(c) None of the trustees identified in the list has been identified in the list with the fraudulent intent of concealing the identity of any person or persons exercising the power or authority of a trustee in furtherance of any unlawful conduct.
2. Upon filing:
(a) The initial list required by subsection 1, the business trust shall pay to the Secretary of State a fee of $150.
(b) Each annual list required by subsection 1, the business trust shall pay to the Secretary of State a fee of $150.
3. If a business trust files an amended list of trustees with the Secretary of State within 60 days after the date on which the initial list required by subsection 1 is filed, the business trust or the resigning trustee is not required to pay a fee for filing the amended list.
4. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 3, if a trustee of a business trust resigns and the resignation is not reflected on the annual or amended list of trustees, the business trust or the resigning trustee shall pay to the Secretary of State a fee of $75 to file the resignation.
5. The Secretary of State shall, 90 days before the last day for filing each annual list required by subsection 1, provide to each business trust which is required to comply with the provisions of NRS 88A.600 to 88A.665, inclusive, and which has not become delinquent, a notice of the fee due pursuant to subsection 2 and a reminder to file the list required pursuant to subsection 1. Failure of a business trust to receive a notice does not excuse it from the penalty imposed by law.
6. An annual list for a business trust not in default which is received by the Secretary of State more than 90 days before its due date shall be deemed an amended list for the previous year.
7. A person who files with the Secretary of State an initial list or annual list required by subsection 1 which identifies a trustee with the fraudulent intent of concealing the identity of any person or persons exercising the power or authority of a trustee in furtherance of any unlawful conduct is subject to the penalty set forth in NRS 225.084.
8. For the purposes of this section, a person who is a beneficial owner is not deemed to exercise actual control of the daily operations of a business trust based solely on the fact that the person is a beneficial owner.
9. The Secretary of State may allow a business trust to select an alternative due date for filing the initial list required by subsection 1.
10. The Secretary of State may adopt regulations to administer the provisions of subsection 9.
