2018 Connecticut General Statutes
Title 34 - Limited Partnerships, Partnerships, Professional Associations, Limited Liability Companies and Statutory Trusts
Chapter 610 - Uniform Limited Partnership Act
Section 34-10b - Filing requirements.

(a) A signed copy of the certificate of limited partnership and of any certificates of amendment or cancellation or of any judicial decree of amendment or cancellation or of any certificate of merger or consolidation, or notice or any other document permitted or required to be filed pursuant to this chapter for a limited partnership, shall be delivered to the Secretary of the State. A person who executes a certificate as an agent or fiduciary need not exhibit evidence of his authority as a prerequisite to filing. Unless the Secretary of the State finds that any certificate does not conform to law, upon receipt of all filing fees required by law he shall:

(1) Endorse on each copy the word “Filed” and the day, month and year of the filing thereof; and

(2) File a signed copy in his office.

(b) Upon the filing of a certificate of amendment or judicial decree of amendment in the office of the Secretary of the State, the certificate of limited partnership shall be amended as set forth therein, and upon the effective date of a certificate of cancellation, or a judicial decree thereof or a certificate of merger or consolidation which acts as a certificate of cancellation, the certificate of limited partnership is cancelled.

(c) When any document is required or permitted to be filed or recorded as provided in sections 34-9 to 34-38u, inclusive, the Secretary of the State may, in the Secretary of the State's discretion, for good cause, permit a photostatic or other photographic copy of such document to be filed or recorded in lieu of the original instrument. Such filing or recording shall have the same force and effect as if the original instrument had been so filed or recorded.

(d) The Secretary of the State may require or permit the filing by electronic transmission or by employing new technology as it is developed of any document that is required by law or regulation under sections 34-9 to 34-38u, inclusive, to be filed with the Secretary of the State.
