SECTION 0115
Resignation of registered agent.
F.S. 605.0115
605.0115 Resignation of registered agent.—
(1) A registered agent may resign as agent for a limited liability company or foreign limited liability company by delivering for filing to the department a signed statement of resignation containing the name of the limited liability company or foreign limited liability company.
(2) After delivering the statement of resignation to the department for filing, the registered agent must promptly mail a copy to the limited liability company’s or foreign limited liability company’s current mailing address; provided, however, that if a composite statement of resignation is being filed pursuant to subsection (6), the registered agent must promptly mail a copy of either the composite statement of resignation or a separate notice of resignation for each respective limited liability company, in each case using the respective mailing address of the respective limited liability company that then appears in the records of the department.
(3) A registered agent is terminated upon the earlier of:
(a) The 31st day after the department files the statement of resignation; or
(b) When a statement of change or other record designating a new registered agent is filed by the department.
(4) When a statement of resignation takes effect, the registered agent ceases to have responsibility for a matter thereafter tendered to it as agent for the limited liability company or foreign limited liability company. The resignation does not affect contractual rights that the company or foreign limited liability company has against the agent or that the agent has against the company or foreign limited liability company.
(5) A registered agent may resign from a limited liability company or foreign limited liability company regardless of whether the company or foreign limited liability company has active status.
(6)(a) If a registered agent is resigning as registered agent from more than one limited liability company that each has been dissolved, either voluntarily, administratively, or by court action, for a continuous period of 10 years or longer, the registered agent may elect to file the statement of resignation separately for each such limited liability company or may elect to file a single composite statement of resignation covering two or more limited liability companies. Any such composite statement of resignation must set forth, for each such limited liability company covered by the statement of resignation, the name of the respective limited liability 1company and the date dissolution became effective for the respective limited liability company.
(b) This subsection is applicable only to resignations from limited liability companies as defined in this chapter.
