§ 1785.06.

A professional association, within thirty days after the thirtieth day of June in

each even-numbered year, shall furnish a statement to the secretary of state showing

the names and post-office addresses of all of the shareholders in the association

and certifying that all of the shareholders are duly licensed, certificated, or otherwise

legally authorized to render within this state the same professional service for which

the association was organized or, in the case of a combination of professional services

described in division (B) of section 1785.01 of the Revised Code , to render within this state any of the applicable types of professional services

for which the association was organized.  This statement shall be made on a form that the secretary of state shall prescribe,

shall be signed by an officer of the association, and shall be filed in the office

of the secretary of state. If any professional association fails to file the biennial statement within the time

required by this section, the secretary of state shall give notice of the failure

by ordinary or electronic mail to the last known physical or electronic address of

the association or its agent.  If the biennial statement is not filed within thirty days after the mailing of the

notice, the secretary of state, upon the expiration of that period, shall cancel the

association's articles of incorporation, give notice of the cancellation to the association

by ordinary or electronic mail sent to the last known physical or electronic address

of the association or its agent, and make a notation of the cancellation on the records

of the secretary of state. A professional association whose articles have been canceled pursuant to this section

may be reinstated by filing, within two years of the cancellation, an application

for reinstatement and the required biennial statement or statements and by paying

the reinstatement fee specified in division (Q) of section 111.16 of the Revised Code .  The rights, privileges, and franchises of a professional association whose articles

have been reinstated are subject to section 1701.922 of the Revised Code .  The secretary of state shall inform the tax commissioner of all cancellations and

reinstatements under this section.
