Iowa Code Title XII. Business Entities [Chs. 486-504C] § 499.42. Renewal

1. An association may extend its duration perpetually, or for any definite time, by resolution adopted by a majority of all its members, or any different vote for which the articles may provide, at a meeting called for that purpose and held before its original expiration.

2. Unless the association has meanwhile wound up, its duration may be extended in like manner within three years after its original expiration, with the same effect as if done prior thereto, by a vote of two-thirds of all its members.

3. The resolution must state the name of the association, its original expiration date, and for how long thereafter its duration is extended, and must also adopt, and designate officers to execute, renewal articles of incorporation containing the things required in section 499.40.

4. The renewal articles shall be executed and filed as required by section 499.41. Renewal shall not relieve the association from fees, charges, or penalties which may have accrued against it.
