      (b) Whenever it comes to the attention of the Secretary of the State that a limited liability company has failed to maintain a statutory agent for service, the Secretary of the State may notify such limited liability company by registered or certified mail or mail evidenced by a certificate of mailing addressed to such limited liability company at its principal office as last shown on his records that under the provisions of this section the limited liability company's rights and powers are prima facie forfeited.
