Official statutory text

Subject to the annual fee provisions of Section 742.39, every certificate of compliance shall be for an indefinite term and shall expire with the expiration or termination of the existence of the holder thereof. Notwithstanding the provisions of this section, whenever the commissioner shall determine, after notice and hearing, that any person to whom the certificate has been issued is in arrears to the state or to any county or city in the state for fees, licenses, taxes, assessments, fines, or penalties, accrued on business transacted in the state, or is otherwise in default for failure to comply with any of the laws of this state regarding the governmental control of the person by the state, the commissioner may order the certificate holder to comply with those requirements within 30 days of that determination. If the certificate of compliance holder fails to comply within that period, the certificate of compliance may then be revoked, unless the commissioner’s order is stayed by a court of appropriate jurisdiction.
