(2) Each domestic nonprofit corporation and each foreign nonprofit corporation authorized to transact business in this state shall deliver an annual report to the Secretary of State for filing, on such date as may be established by the Secretary of State, which provides the following information:

(a) The name of the nonprofit corporation and the state or country or other foreign jurisdiction under whose law it is organized;

(c) The address of its principal office;

(d) The name, titles and business address of its principal officer;

(e) A brief description of the nature of its business; and

(f) Whether it has received public funds and a listing of any governmental entity that distributed the public funds. The term “public funds” means funds received by the organization during its most recently completed fiscal year which were received from the State of Mississippi or any local governmental authority located within the State of Mississippi.

If the report is corrected to contain the information required by this section and delivered to the Secretary of State within thirty (30) days after the effective date of notice, the report is deemed to be timely filed.

(5) If the nonprofit corporation fails to file timely or fails to disclose the information required under this section, the corporation may be subject to the penalties of dissolution or disallowance of nonprofit status, or both.
