(b) If the foreign limited liability company fails to satisfy par.

The department shall give the foreign limited liability company notice of each ground for termination and the effective date of the termination. The notice shall be in writing and addressed to the registered agent of the foreign limited liability company in this state. (c) 1.

Corrects each ground for termination. b. Pays any fees or penalties due the department under this chapter or $5,000, whichever is less. 2. A reinstatement under this paragraph shall relate back to and take effect as of the effective date of the termination, and the foreign limited liability company may resume carrying on its business as if the termination never occurred. (3) (a) If a notice under sub. (1) or (2) (b) is returned to the department as undeliverable, the department shall again give notice to the foreign limited liability company. Except as provided under par. (b), the notice shall be in writing and addressed to the principal office of the foreign limited liability company. (b) If the notice under par. (a) is returned to the department as undeliverable or if the foreign limited liability company’s principal office cannot be determined from the records of the department, the department shall give notice by posting the notice on the department’s Internet site. (4) The authority of a foreign limited liability company to transact business in this state, other than as provided in s. 183.0905 (1) and (2), ends on the effective date of the termination of its registration. (5) If the department or a court terminates a foreign limited liability company’s registration, the foreign limited liability company may be served under s. 183.0119 (2) or (3) or the foreign limited liability company’s registered agent may be served until the registered agent’s authority is terminated, in any civil, criminal, administrative, or investigatory proceeding based on a cause of action which arose while the foreign limited liability company was authorized to do business in this state. (6) Termination of a foreign limited liability company’s registration does not terminate the authority of its registered agent.
