The application must: (1) Be accompanied by a confirmation of good standing relative to such foreign LLC; (2) Recite the name of the foreign LLC at its date of revocation; (3) State that the ground or grounds for revocation either did not exist or have been eliminated; and (4) State a foreign LLC name that satisfies the requirements of § 48-246-201 . (b) (1) If the secretary of state determines that the application is accompanied by the confirmation of good standing and contains the information required by subsection (a), and that such information is correct, then the secretary of state shall reinstate the certificate of authority, prepare a certificate that recites the secretary of state's determination and the effective date of reinstatement, file the original of the certificate, and serve a copy on the foreign LLC; and (2) If the foreign LLC name in subdivision (a)(4) is different than the foreign LLC name in subdivision (a)(2), the application for reinstatement shall constitute an amendment to its certificate of authority insofar as it pertains to the foreign LLC name. (c) When the reinstatement is effective, it relates back and takes effect as of the effective date of the administrative revocation and the foreign LLC resumes carrying on its business as if the administrative revocation had never occurred.
