California Code, Revenue and Taxation Code - RTC § 23305b

Notwithstanding Section 23305, the Franchise Tax Board may revive a taxpayer to good standing without full payment of the taxes, penalties, and interest due if it determines that the revivor will improve the prospects for collection of the full amount due. This revivor may be limited as to time or may limit the functions the revived taxpayer can perform, or both. The taxpayer's powers, rights, and privileges may again be suspended or forfeited if the Franchise Tax Board determines that the prospects for collection of the full amount due have not been improved by the revivor of the taxpayer.
