TOPEKA – Today, Secretary of State Scott Schwab commended the enactment of House Sub for Senate Bill 244 which modernizes state corporate law. The bill also includes measures proposed by the Secretary of State that will enable businesses to obtain more services and file more types of documents online with the Secretary of State.
