Washington Revised Code Title 24. Corporations and Associations (Nonprofit) § 24.03A.855. Entity conversion for noncharitable corporations

(1) A domestic nonprofit corporation, other than a charitable corporation, may become a domestic unincorporated entity pursuant to a plan of entity conversion only if the entity conversion is permitted under the organic law governing the entity that would survive the entity conversion.

(2) A domestic nonprofit corporation, other than a charitable corporation, may become a foreign unincorporated entity if the entity conversion is permitted by the laws of the foreign jurisdiction.

(3) A domestic unincorporated entity may be converted into a domestic nonprofit corporation only if applicable Washington state law provides procedures for the approval of an entity conversion into a domestic nonprofit corporation.

(4) A foreign unincorporated entity may become a domestic nonprofit corporation if the law of the foreign jurisdiction authorizes it to become a nonprofit corporation in another jurisdiction.

(5) If any provision of a debt security, note, or similar evidence of indebtedness for money borrowed, whether secured or unsecured, or a contract of any kind, issued, incurred, or executed by a domestic nonprofit corporation before January 1, 2022, applies to a merger of the corporation and the document does not refer to an entity conversion of the corporation, then the provision is deemed to apply to an entity conversion of the corporation until the provision is later amended.
