(a) General rule.--The function of the Department of State under this title is to act in a manner comparable to the offices of recorder of deeds under former provisions of law as an office of public record wherein articles and other papers relating to association affairs may be filed to establish the permanent and definitive text thereof and to afford all persons the opportunity of acquiring knowledge of the contents thereof.
(b) Names and marks.--The department shall supervise and administer the provisions of this title and of Title 54 (relating to names) concerning names and marks.
(c) Collection of taxes and charges imposed by statute.--This subchapter shall not limit the power and duty of the department to assess and collect taxes and charges imposed or authorized by statute.
(d) Notice of decennial filings.--Whenever a decennial filing is required by Title 54 to be made in the department, the department shall, not earlier than the November 1 prior to the commencement of the decennial year wherever practicable, give notice by mail to the registrant or other party of the decennial filing requirement, which notice shall be accompanied by appropriate application blanks or forms. Failure by the department to give notice to any party, or failure by any party to receive notice, of a decennial filing requirement shall not relieve any party of the obligation to make the decennial filing.
