(1) A nonprofit corporation may revoke its dissolution within one hundred twenty days of the effective date of the dissolution.
(2) Revocation of dissolution must be authorized in the same manner as the dissolution was authorized unless that authorization permitted revocation by action of the board alone, in which event the board may revoke the dissolution without action by the members.
(3) Except as provided in subsection (4) of this section, after the revocation of dissolution is authorized, the nonprofit corporation may revoke the dissolution by delivering to the secretary of state for filing articles of revocation of dissolution, together with a copy of its articles of dissolution, that set forth:
(a) The name of the corporation;
(b) The effective date of the dissolution that was revoked;
(c) The date that the revocation of dissolution was authorized; and
(d) That the revocation of dissolution was approved in the manner required by this chapter and by the articles and bylaws.
(4) A charitable corporation or a nonprofit corporation holding property restricted to charitable purposes shall not deliver articles of revocation of dissolution to the secretary of state for filing without the approval of the attorney general. Such a corporation shall give the attorney general notice in the form of a record that it intends to revoke its dissolution, to which notice a copy of the articles of revocation of dissolution adopted in accordance with subsection (2) of this section must be attached. In the event that the attorney general does not deliver a notice of objection in the form of a record to the corporation within twenty days after the delivery to the attorney general of notice of the revocation of dissolution, approval of the revocation of dissolution is deemed to have been given.
(5) Revocation of dissolution is effective upon the effective date of the articles of revocation of dissolution.
(6) When the revocation of dissolution is effective, it relates back to and takes effect as of the effective date of the dissolution and the nonprofit corporation resumes carrying on its activities as if dissolution had never occurred.
