(b) The notice to the corporation shall be provided by certified mail addressed to the corporation’s last designated agent for service of process of record with the Secretary of State and notice shall be deemed complete five calendar days after the notice is mailed.
(c) If the corporation or its agent wishes to contest payment of an application by the Secretary of State, the corporation or agent shall mail or deliver a written response addressed to the Secretary of State within 30 calendar days of the notice of the application, and shall mail or deliver a copy of the response to the claimant.
