a. The name of the limited partnership and the effective date of its administrative dissolution.

b. That the grounds for dissolution either did not exist or have been eliminated.

c. If the application is received more than five years after the effective date of the dissolution, that the limited partnership s name satisfies the requirements of section 488.108.

2. If the secretary of state determines that an application contains the information required by subsection 1 and that the information is correct, the secretary of state shall prepare a declaration of reinstatement that states this determination, sign, and file the declaration of reinstatement, and deliver a copy to the limited partnership.

3. When reinstatement becomes effective, it relates back to and takes effect as of the effective date of the administrative dissolution and the limited partnership may resume its activities as if the administrative dissolution had never occurred.
