A limited liability company or series that filed formation documents in an odd-numbered year shall file a report in each odd-numbered year. It is permissible to file at one time the biennial report information for more than one limited liability company or series, regardless of whether the formation documents were filed in an even-numbered or odd-numbered year, except that all the reports shall be filed in the first year a biennial report is due under this law and in odd-numbered years thereafter. The report shall be filed not later than April 15.

(f) At the time of filing the business entity information report, each limited liability company or series shall pay to the secretary of state a fee in an amount equal to $80, plus the amount specified in rules and regulations of the secretary.
