(a)General rule.-- The department may, but shall not be required to, prescribe by regulation one or more official docketing statement forms designed to elicit from a person effecting a filing under this title information that the department has found to be necessary or desirable in connection with the processing of a filing. A form of docketing statement prescribed under this subsection:

(1)Shall be published in the Pennsylvania Code.

(2)Shall not be integrated into a single document covering the requirements of the filing and its related docketing statement.

(3)May be required by the department in connection with a filing only if notice of the requirement appears on the official format for the filing prescribed by the department.

(4)Shall not be required to be submitted on department-furnished forms.

(5)Shall not constitute a document filed in, with or by the department for the purposes of this title or any other provision of law except 18 Pa.C.S. § 4904 (relating to unsworn falsification to authorities).

(b)Transmission to Department of Revenue.-- The department shall note on the docketing statement the fact and date of the filing to which the docketing statement relates and shall transmit a copy of the docketing statement or the information contained therein to the Department of Revenue. If a docketing statement is not required for a particular filing, the Department of State may transmit a copy of the filing or the information contained therein to the Department of Revenue at no cost to the person effecting the filing.

(c)Transmission to other agencies.-- If the docketing statement delivered to the Department of State sets forth any kind of business in which a corporation, partnership or other association may not engage without the approval of or a license from any department, board or commission of the Commonwealth, the Department of State shall, upon processing the filing, promptly transmit a copy of the docketing statement or the information contained therein to each such department, board or commission.
