Corporations, Associations, and Partnerships
CHAPTER 7-1.2
Rhode Island Business Corporation Act
PART 7-1.2-1301
Dissolution and Revocation
SECTION 7-1.2-1307
§ 7-1.2-1307 Effect of statement of
revocation of voluntary dissolution proceedings.
(a) Upon the filing by the secretary of state of a statement of revocation of
voluntary dissolution proceedings, whether by consent of its shareholders or by
act of the corporation, the revocation of the voluntary dissolution proceedings
becomes effective and the corporation may again carry on its business.
(b) Revocation of dissolution is effective upon the effective
date of the statement of revocation of voluntary dissolution.
(c) When the revocation of dissolution is effective, it
relates back to and takes effect as of the effective date of the dissolution
and the corporation resumes carrying on its business as if dissolution had
never occurred, except as subsequently provided.
(d) If, as permitted by the provisions of this title, another
corporation, whether business or nonprofit, limited partnership, limited
liability partnership or limited liability company, domestic or foreign,
qualified to transact business in this state, bears or has filed a fictitious
business name statement with respect to or reserved or registered a name which
is not distinguishable upon the records of the secretary of state from the name
of a corporation with respect to which the certificate of voluntary dissolution
is proposed to be withdrawn, then the secretary of state shall condition
effectiveness of the statement of revocation of voluntary dissolution upon the
amendment by the corporation of its articles of incorporation or otherwise
complying with the provisions of this chapter with respect to the use of a name
available to it under the laws of this state so as to designate a name which is
distinguishable upon the records of the secretary of state from its former name.
