(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:

(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.

(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.
