An annual or biennial report of each domestic or foreign corporation shall be delivered to the secretary of state between the first day of January and the first day of March of each year or on such annual or biennial renewal date as the secretary of state may establish. The secretary of state may adopt rules to establish biennial reporting dates and to stagger reporting dates. Proof to the satisfaction of the secretary of state that the report was deposited in the United States mails, in a sealed envelope, properly addressed to the secretary of state, with postage prepaid thereon, prior to the corporation's annual or biennial renewal date, shall be deemed compliance with this requirement.

     If the secretary of state finds that a report substantially conforms to the requirements of this chapter, the secretary of state shall file the same.

     Failure of the secretary of state to send any such notice shall not relieve a corporation from its obligation to file the annual reports required by this chapter.
