(1) A corporation administratively
dissolved under RCW 23B.14.210 may apply to the secretary of
state for reinstatement within five years after the effective
date of dissolution. The application must:
(a) Recite the name of the corporation and the effective
date of its administrative dissolution;
(b) State that the ground or grounds for dissolution either
did not exist or have been eliminated; and
(c) State that the corporation's name satisfies the
requirements of RCW 23B.04.010.
(2) If the secretary of state determines that the
application contains the information required by subsection (1)
of this section and that the name is available, the secretary of
state shall reinstate the corporation and give the corporation
written notice of the reinstatement that recites the effective
date of reinstatement. If the name is not available, the
corporation must file articles of amendment changing its name
with its application for reinstatement.
(3) When the reinstatement is effective, it relates back to
and takes effect as of the effective date of the administrative
dissolution and the corporation resumes carrying on its business
as if the administrative dissolution had never occurred.
