Procedure for and effect of administrative dissolution
Official statutory text
If the Office of the Secretary of State determines that one or more grounds exist under § 47-1A-1420 for dissolving a corporation, the Office of the Secretary of State shall serve the corporation with written notice of that determination. If the corporation does not correct each ground for dissolution or demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of the Office of the Secretary of State that each ground determined by the Office of the Secretary of State does not exist within sixty days after service of the notice is perfected, the Office of the Secretary of State shall administratively dissolve the corporation by signing a certificate of dissolution that recites the ground or grounds for dissolution and its effective date. The Office of the Secretary of State shall file the original of the certificate and serve a copy on the corporation.
A corporation administratively dissolved continues its corporate existence but may not carry on any business except that necessary to wind up and liquidate its business and affairs under §§ 47-1A-1405 and 47-1A-1405.1 and notify claimants under §§ 47-1A-1406 to 47-1A-1406.2 , inclusive, and 47-1A-1407 to 47-1A-1407.2 , inclusive.
The administrative dissolution of a corporation does not terminate the authority of its registered agent.
