(b) Date of information.--Information in an annual report must be current as of the date the report is delivered to the department for filing.
(c) Filing deadlines.--An annual report must be delivered to the department for filing each year, beginning with the calendar year after which an entity or association first becomes subject to this section, and:

(d) Rejection of report.--If an annual report does not contain the information required by this section, the department must:
(1) reject the report;
(2) notify promptly in record form the reporting entity or association in a record of the rejection; and
(3) return the report for correction.
(e) Modification of prior filings.--If an annual report contains information about the registered office which differs from the information shown in the records of the department immediately before the report is delivered to the department for filing, the address of the registered office of the entity or association delivering the report to the department for filing will be deemed to be changed to the address set forth in the report effective as of the filing of the report.
(f) Change of information.--The information in an annual report may be changed by delivering to the department an annual report which includes a statement that the report contains a change in the information previously included in a report for that year.
