Reinstatement following administrative dissolution.
(1) A corporation that the
Secretary of State administratively dissolved under ORS 65.651 may apply to the
Secretary of State for reinstatement within five years from the date of
dissolution. The application must:
(a) State the
name of the corporation and the effective date of the corporations
administrative dissolution; and
(b) State that
the ground or grounds for dissolution either did not exist or have been
eliminated.
(2) If the
Secretary of State determines that the application contains the information
required by subsection (1) of this section, that the information is correct,
and that the corporations name satisfies the requirements of ORS 65.094, the
Secretary of State shall reinstate the corporation.
(3) When
effective, the reinstatement relates back to and takes effect as of the
effective date of the administrative dissolution and the corporation resumes
carrying on the corporations activities as if the administrative dissolution
had never occurred.
(4) The Secretary
of State may waive the requirement under subsection (1) of this section that
the corporation apply for reinstatement within five years after the date of
administrative dissolution if the corporation requests the waiver and provides
evidence of the corporations continued existence as an active concern during
the period of administrative dissolution. [1989 c.1010 §140; 1995 c.215 §14;
