Concerning requirements for solicitations related to the secretary of state.
Session:
2023 Regular Session
Subject:
Business & Economic Development
Bill Summary

The act requires a person who solicits a fee for filing a document with, or retrieving a public record from, the secretary of state to include specific disclosure language in the solicitation. The person must also include information on where the document can be filed directly with the secretary of state, or where the public record can be retrieved, and the name and physical address of the person who is soliciting.

The act also prohibits the use of any form, deadline dates, or other language that makes the document used for solicitation appear to be issued by a state agency or local government or that appears to impose a legal duty on the person being solicited.

Violation of these requirements is an unfair or deceptive trade practice.
