GA Code § 14-3-1605 (2021)
2021 Georgia Code|Title 14 - Corporations, Partnerships, and Associations|Chapter 3 - Nonprofit Corporations|Article 16 - Records and Reports|Part 1 - Records|§ 14-3-1605. Use of Membership List

 Without consent of the board, a membership list or any part thereof may not be obtained or used by any person for any purpose unrelated to a member's interest as a member. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, without the consent of the board a membership list or any part thereof may not be:    Used to solicit money or property unless such money or property will be used solely to solicit the votes of the members in an election to be held by the corporation;   Used for any commercial purpose; or   Sold to or purchased by any person.     (Code 1981, §14-3-1605, enacted by Ga. L. 1991, p. 465, § 1.)

2021 Georgia Code|Title 14 - Corporations, Partnerships, and Associations|Chapter 3 - Nonprofit Corporations|Article 16 - Records and Reports|Part 2 - Reports|§ 14-3-1620. Furnishing Financial Statements to Members

  A corporation upon request in writing or by electronic transmission from a member shall furnish that member its latest prepared annual financial statements, which may be consolidated or combined statements of the corporation and one or more of its subsidiaries or affiliates, in reasonable detail as appropriate, that include a balance sheet as of the end of the fiscal year and statement of operations for that year. If financial statements are prepared for the corporation on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles, the annual financial statements must also be prepared on that basis.   If annual financial statements are reported upon by a public accountant, the accountant's report must accompany them. If not, the statements must be accompanied by the statement of the president or the person responsible for the corporation's financial accounting records:   Stating the president's or other person's reasonable belief as to whether the statements were prepared on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles and, if not, describing the basis of preparation; and   Describing any respects in which the statements were not prepared on a basis of accounting consistent with the statements prepared for the preceding year.       (Code 1981, §14-3-1620, enacted by Ga. L. 1991, p. 465, § 1; Ga. L. 2004, p. 508, § 63.)   COMMENT   This section is based on the Model Act and on its Business Code counterpart. Subsection (a) follows the Model Act, rather than the Business Code. It does not specifically require corporations to prepare annual financial statements. Like the Business Code, this section requires that the most recent financial statements be provided to a member who has requested them in writing. Although some nonprofit corporations' bylaws require that annual financial statements be mailed to the members, this section eschews such a requirement as being financially prohibitive for many corporations. See also section 14-3-1601, requiring corporations to "maintain appropriate accounting records."

Subsequent annual registrations must be delivered to the Secretary of State between January 1 and April 1, or such other date as the Secretary of State may specify by rules or regulations, of the following calendar years.   The initial annual registration of a domestic corporation shall be filed within 90 days after the day its articles of incorporation are delivered to the Secretary of State for filing. However, the initial annual registration of a domestic corporation whose articles of incorporation are delivered to the Secretary of State for filing subsequent to October 1 shall be filed between January 1 and April 1 of the year next succeeding the calendar year in which its certificate of incorporation is issued by the Secretary of State.   If an annual registration does not contain the information required by this Code section, the Secretary of State shall promptly notify the reporting domestic or foreign corporation in writing and return the report to it for correction. If the report is corrected to contain the information required by this Code section and delivered to the Secretary of State within 30 days after the effective date of notice, it is deemed to be timely filed.

  The surname of a limited partner shall not appear in the partnership name, unless:   It is also the surname of a general partner; or   Prior to the time when the limited partner became such, the business had been carried on under a name in which his surname appeared.
