Title 10A - ALABAMA BUSINESS AND NONPROFIT ENTITIES CODE.
Chapter 1 - GENERAL PROVISIONS.
Section 10A-1-7.13 - Procedure for and effect of revocation.
(a) If the Secretary of State determines that one or more grounds exist under Section 10A-1-7.12 for revocation of a registration, he or she shall serve the foreign entity with written notice of his or her determination by serving its registered agent, which service may be by registered mail, or, if the entity has no registered agent or its registered agent cannot with reasonable diligence be served, by serving the entity by any method permitted under Sections 10A-1-5.35 and 10A-1-5.36.
(b) If the foreign entity does not correct each ground for revocation or demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of the Secretary of State that each ground determined by the Secretary of State does not exist within 60 days after service of the notice is perfected under subsection (a), the Secretary of State may revoke the foreign entity's registration by signing a certificate of revocation that recites the ground or grounds for revocation and its effective date. The Secretary of State shall file the original of the certificate and serve a copy on the foreign entity by serving its registered agent, which service may be by registered mail, or, if the entity has no registered agent or its registered agent cannot with reasonable diligence be served, by serving the entity by any method permitted under Sections 10A-1-5.35 and 10A-1-5.36.
(c) The authority of a foreign entity to transact business in this state ceases on the date shown on the certificate revoking its certificate of authority.
(d) Revocation of a foreign entity's registration does not terminate the authority of the registered agent of the entity. Service of process in any action, suit, or proceeding stating a cause of action arising in this state during the time the foreign entity was authorized to transact business in this state may be made on the foreign entity whose registration has been suspended by service on the registered agent or by serving the entity by any method permitted under Sections 10A-1-5.35 and 10A-1-5.36.
