1. A foreign limited partnership may cancel its registration by filing with the Secretary of State a certificate of cancellation signed by a general partner. The certificate must set forth:
(a) The name of the foreign limited partnership;
(b) The reason for filing the certificate of cancellation;
(c) The effective date and time of the cancellation if other than the time of the filing of the certificate with the Secretary of State, which date must not be more than 90 days after the date on which the certificate is filed; and
(d) Any other information deemed necessary by the general partners of the partnership.
Ê A cancellation does not terminate the authority of the Secretary of State to accept service of process on the foreign limited partnership with respect to causes of action arising out of the transactions of business in this State.
2. If a certificate filed pursuant to subsection 1 specifies a later effective date but does not specify an effective time, the cancellation of the registration is effective at 12:01 a.m. in the Pacific time zone on the specified later date.
