Secretary of State issues alert to corporations and non-profits regarding misleading solicitations
Maine corporations have recently received misleading solicitation mailings with an offer to file annual reports for the corporation for a $185 fee.
The Secretary of State is reminding all corporate and non-profit entities that the Division of Corporations does not mail out the annual report form.
The "solicitation form" from an organization identified as C.F.S. looks similar to the Division of Corporations' annual report form, but it is not prescribed nor recognized by the Maine Department of the Secretary of State and this mailing does not come from the departments Division of Corporations. Maine corporations have received similar solicitations in recent years from entities operating under various names.
The 2021 annual report is not available until January 1, 2021. At that time, the updated form will be available online at https://www10.informe.org/aro/index_on.html and corporate entities will have until the deadline of June 1, 2021 to complete the report filing with the Secretary of States office. The annual report filing fee for established domestic business entities is $85, nonprofit corporations is $35 and foreign business entities is $150.
Any corporation that has questions about the solicitation they received is encouraged to obtain advice from a lawyer or business advisor. In addition, those with questions about corporate annual report or other business entity filing requirements can contact the Maine Division of Corporations at (207) 624-7752.
Important Numbers for Maine Veterans
States Exempt from Maine’s Quarantine or Testing Alternative
The Administration announced that effective Wednesday, November 4, 2020, people traveling from New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut are no longer exempt from Maine’s quarantine or negative test requirement. People coming here from these states must either quarantine for 14 days or receive a negative COVID-19 test with a sample taken less than 72 hours from arrival in Maine, quarantining while awaiting test results. This protocol includes Maine residents returning from one of the non-exempt states.
The travel decision comes after the Administration reviewed recent public health data, including other states' rapidly rising prevalence of the virus and positivity rates. In reviewing these metrics, Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey demonstrated an alarming increase in prevalence of the virus. New Hampshire, Vermont and Massachusetts remain exempt from the 14-day quarantine or negative test requirement, although the Administration is closely evaluating public health metrics in Massachusetts and may reinstate the quarantine or negative test requirement if trends do not improve.
Testing will be available to the public at no charge as a drive-through service at a future date in November. People can find COVID-19 testing sites near them via the website https://get-tested-covid19.org/.
Where to fish in November
The days are shorter and cooler, making spending time outside even more important for our physical and mental health. November is an exciting month to fish in parts of the state with experiences not available during warmer months. In addition, fall stocking has begun, giving anglers an opportunity before ice fishing begins. View the November Fishing Report for recommended places to go and tips from Maine's fisheries biologists.
Reminders: Firearms hunting season is underway. It is still very safe to fish, hike, and explore, but please wear orange or a bright neon color to be extra safe. The water is very cold - if spending time on the water, please use caution and wear your lifejacket, it can save your life. The same body of water you fished this spring or summer may have different laws now that it is fall, please review Maine’s fishing laws before you go.
