Forfeiture of charter for nonuse ACTIVE

Any association which fails to commence business within six months after the date upon which its corporate existence begins, shall forfeit its corporate existence, unless the commissioner, before the expiration of the six month period, approves the extension of time within which it may commence business, upon a written application by the association stating the reasons for such delay. Upon such forfeiture the certificate of incorporation shall expire, and all action taken in connection with the incorporation thereof, except the payment of the incorporation fee, shall become void. Amounts credited on shares, savings accounts, or stock subscriptions, less expenditures approved by the commissioner, shall be returned pro rata to the respective holders thereof.
