11. Current registry data
As of February 17, 2019.
New legislation effective October 1, 2018, prompted our office to change the way it reports statistics regarding registered entities. Prior to that date, our office included entities whose registrations were suspended in the count of registered entities. Our office no longer suspends entities for a failure to renew their registration; instead their registrations are simply allowed to expire. We do not include entities whose registrations have expired in the count of registered entities.
