Pennsylvania Statutes Title 15 Pa.C.S.A. Corporations and Unincorporated Associations § 226. Effect of ratification

(1) The defective entity action is not void or voidable, or deprived of full effect, as a result of its failure of authorization and is duly authorized and a valid entity action effective as of the date when the defective entity action was taken.

(2) The issuance of each putative interest or fraction of a putative interest purportedly issued pursuant to the defective entity action is not void or voidable, and each putative interest or fraction of a putative interest is an identical, duly authorized and validly issued interest or fraction of an interest as of the time it was purportedly issued.

(3) Any entity action taken subsequent to the defective entity action in reliance on the defective entity action having been validly effected is duly authorized and valid as of the time taken.  Any subsequent defective entity action resulting directly or indirectly from the original defective entity action, if the failure of authorization of the subsequent defective entity action relates solely to the defective entity action ratified under this subchapter, is duly authorized and valid as of the time taken.

(4) If a document was previously filed by the department in respect of the defective entity action, any statement in the document to the effect that the defective entity action was validly approved in accordance with applicable rules is deemed stricken from the document.
