        490.1622  BIENNIAL REPORT FOR SECRETARY OF STATE.
         1.  Each domestic corporation, and each foreign corporation
      authorized to transact business in this state, shall deliver to the
      secretary of state for filing a biennial report that sets forth all
      of the following:
         a.  The name of the corporation and the state or country under
      whose law it is incorporated.
         b.  The address of its registered office and the name of its
      registered agent at that office in this state, together with the
      consent of any new registered agent.
         c.  The address of its principal office.
         d.  The names and addresses of the president, secretary,
      treasurer, and one member of the board of directors.
         2.  Information in the biennial report must be current as of the
      first day of January of the year in which the report is due.  The
      report shall be executed on behalf of the corporation and signed as
      provided in section 490.120 or by any other person authorized by the
      board of directors of the corporation.
         3.  The first biennial report shall be delivered to the secretary
      of state between January 1 and April 1 of the first even-numbered
      year following the calendar year in which a domestic corporation was
      incorporated or a foreign corporation was authorized to transact
      business.  Subsequent biennial reports must be delivered to the
      secretary of state between January 1 and April 1 of the following
      even- numbered calendar years.  A filing fee for the biennial report
      shall be determined by the secretary of state.  For purposes of this
      section, each biennial report shall contain information related to
      the two-year period immediately preceding the calendar year in which
      the report is filed.
         4.  If a biennial report does not contain the information required
      by this section, the secretary of state shall promptly notify the
      reporting domestic or foreign corporation in writing and return the
      report to it for correction.
         5.  The secretary of state may provide for the change of
      registered office or registered agent on the form prescribed by the
      secretary of state for the biennial report, provided that the form
      contains the information required in section 490.502 or 490.1508.  If
      the secretary of state determines that a biennial report does not
      contain the information required by this section but otherwise meets
      the requirements of section 490.502 or 490.1508 for the purpose of
      changing the registered office or registered agent, the secretary of
      state shall file the statement of change of registered office or
      registered agent, effective as provided in section 490.123, before
      returning the biennial report to the corporation as provided in this
      section.  A statement of change of registered office or agent
      pursuant to this subsection shall be executed by a person authorized
      to execute the biennial report.
