Sec. 2. (a) With respect to a federal covered security, as defined in Section 18(b)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77r(b)(2)), that is not otherwise exempt under IC 23-19-2-1 through IC 23-19-2-3, a rule adopted or order issued under this article may require the filing of any or all of the following records:

(1) Before the initial offer of a federal covered security in this state, all records that are part of a federal registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933 and a consent to service of process complying with IC 23-19-6-11 signed by the issuer and the payment of a fee as set forth in subsection (c).

(2) After the initial offer of the federal covered security in this state, all records that are part of an amendment to a federal registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, under the Securities Act of 1933.

(b) A notice filing under subsection (a) is effective for one (1) year commencing on the later of the notice filing or the effectiveness of the offering filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. On or before expiration, the issuer may renew a notice filing by filing a copy of those records filed by the issuer with the Securities and Exchange Commission that are required by rule or order under this article to be filed and by paying a renewal fee as set forth in subsection (c). A previously filed consent to service of process complying with IC 23-19-6-11 may be incorporated by reference in a renewal. A renewed notice filing becomes effective upon the expiration of the filing being renewed.

(c) At the time of the filing of the information prescribed in subsection (a) or (b), the issuer shall pay to the commissioner a fee of nine hundred dollars ($900). If the notice filing is withdrawn or otherwise terminated, the commissioner shall retain the fee.

(d) Except for a federal security under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77r(b)(1)), if the commissioner finds that there is a failure to comply with a notice or fee requirement of this section, the commissioner may issue a stop order suspending the offer and sale of a federal covered security in this state. If the deficiency is corrected, the stop order is void as of the time of its issuance and no penalty may be imposed by the commissioner.
