501.813 Reinstatement following administrative dissolution.

1. A cooperative administratively dissolved under section 501.812 may apply to the secretary of state for reinstatement at any time after the effective date of dissolution. The application must meet all of the following requirements:

a. Recite the name of the cooperative at its date of dissolution and the effective date of its administrative dissolution.

b. State that the ground or grounds for dissolution have been eliminated.

c. If the application is received more than five years after the effective date of the cooperative’s dissolution, state a name that satisfies the requirements of section 501.104.

d. State the federal tax identification number of the cooperative.

2. a. The secretary of state shall refer the federal tax identification number contained in the application for reinstatement to the departments of revenue and workforce development. The departments of revenue and workforce development shall report to the secretary of state the tax status of the cooperative. If either department reports to the secretary of state that a filing delinquency or liability exists against the cooperative, the secretary of state shall not cancel the certificate of dissolution until the filing delinquency or liability is satisfied.

b. (1) If the secretary of state determines that the application contains the information required by subsection 1, and that a delinquency or liability reported pursuant to paragraph “a” has been satisfied, and that the information is correct, the secretary of state shall cancel the certificate of dissolution and prepare a certificate of reinstatement that recites the secretary of state’s determination and the effective date of reinstatement, file the document, and deliver a copy to the cooperative under section 501.106.

(2) If the name of the cooperative as provided in subsection 1, paragraph “c”, is different than the name in subsection 1, paragraph “a”, the certificate of reinstatement shall constitute an amendment to the articles of association insofar as it pertains to the name. A cooperative shall not relinquish the right to retain its name if the reinstatement is effective within five years of the effective date of the cooperative’s dissolution.

3. When the reinstatement is effective, it relates back to and takes effect as of the effective date of the administrative dissolution as if the administrative dissolution had never occurred.
