Section 504.1422 - Procedure for and effect of administrative dissolution1. Upon determining that one or more grounds exist under section 504.1421 for dissolving a corporation, the secretary of state shall serve the corporation with written notice of that determination under section 504.504.2. If the corporation does not correct each ground for dissolution or demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of the secretary of state that each ground determined by the secretary of state does not exist within at least sixty days after service of notice is perfected under section 504.504, the secretary of state may administratively dissolve the corporation by signing a certificate of dissolution that recites the ground or grounds for dissolution and its effective date. The secretary of state shall file the original of the certificate of dissolution and serve a copy on the corporation under section 504.504.3. A corporation that is administratively dissolved continues its corporate existence but shall not carry on any activities except those necessary to wind up and liquidate its affairs pursuant to section 504.1405 and notify its claimants pursuant to sections 504.1406 and 504.1407.4. The administrative dissolution of a corporation does not terminate the authority of its registered agent.5. The secretary of state's administrative dissolution of a corporation pursuant to this section appoints the secretary of state as the corporation's agent for service of process in any proceeding based on a cause of action which arose during the time the corporation was authorized to transact business in this state. Service of process on the secretary of state under this subsection is service on the corporation. Upon receipt of process, the secretary of state shall serve a copy of the process on the corporation as provided in section 504.504. This subsection does not preclude service on the corporation's registered agent, if any. 2004 Acts, ch 1049, §145, 192; 2004 Acts, ch 1175, § 386
