IL HB3514

Electronic filing with the Secretary of State's Office should not be charged extra fees beyond standard filing rates, to encourage paperless submissions.

Creates supplemental deposits into the Department of Business Services Special Operations Fund: up to $25 per electronic transaction for nonprofits under the General Not For Profit Corporation Act of 1986, and up to $50 per electronic transaction for business filings (Business Corporation Act, Limited Liability Company Act, or Uniform Limited Partnership Act).

Total annual deposits into the Special Operations Fund from electronic submissions cannot exceed $11,326,225; any amount collected above this cap goes to the General Revenue Fund.

Clarifies that electronic filings cannot be charged expedited service fees solely because they were submitted electronically unless expedited service is explicitly requested by the filer.

These supplemental deposit provisions expire on July 1, 2021.
