(2) A notice filer shall pay a filing fee in the amount of four hundred dollars when the notice is filed.

b. After the initial offer of the federal covered security in this state, all records that are part of an amendment to a federal registration statement filed with the securities and exchange commission under the Securities Act of 1933.

2. Notice filing effectiveness and renewal. A notice filing under subsection 1 is effective for one year commencing on the later of the notice filing or the effectiveness of the offering filed with the securities and exchange commission. On or before expiration, the issuer may renew a notice filing by filing a copy of those records filed by the issuer with the securities and exchange commission that are required by rule or order under this chapter to be filed and by paying a renewal fee of four hundred dollars. A previously filed consent to service of process complying with section 502.611 may be incorporated by reference in a renewal.
