(iii) Any person who acts as a commercial registered agent after the expiration of his registration on December 31 of each year and willfully or by neglect fails to renew such registration as provided in this subsection shall be acting in violation of this act. Renewal of a commercial agent registration after December 31 shall be accompanied by a late renewal fee of five hundred dollars ($500.00) plus an administrative fee which reflects the reasonable costs incurred by the secretary of state for notification of the entities, represented by the commercial registered agent, classified as delinquent awaiting administrative dissolution, revocation or forfeiture of its authority to transact business as provided in W.S. 17-28-103(f);
