Rhode Island General Laws Title 7. Corporations, Associations, and Partnerships § 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state from the name of a corporation with respect to which the certificate of voluntary dissolution is proposed to be withdrawn, then the secretary of state shall condition effectiveness of the statement of revocation of voluntary dissolution upon the amendment by the corporation of its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.
