Sec. 33-936. Procedure for and effect of revocation. (a) If the Secretary of the
State determines that one or more grounds exist under section 33-935 for revocation of
a certificate of authority, he shall serve the foreign corporation with written notice of
his determination under section 33-929.
(b) If the foreign corporation does not correct each ground for revocation or demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of the Secretary of the State that each ground determined by the Secretary of the State does not exist within sixty days after service of the
notice is effective under section 33-929, the Secretary of the State may revoke the foreign
corporation's certificate of authority by signing a certificate of revocation that recites
the ground or grounds for revocation and its effective date. The Secretary of the State
shall file the original of the certificate and serve a copy on the foreign corporation under
section 33-929.
(c) The authority of a foreign corporation to transact business in this state ceases
on the date shown on the certificate revoking its certificate of authority.
(d) The Secretary of the State's revocation of a foreign corporation's certificate of
authority appoints the Secretary of the State the foreign corporation's agent for service
of process in any proceeding based on a cause of action which arose during the time the
foreign corporation was authorized to transact business in this state. Service of process
on the Secretary of the State as provided in section 33-929 is service on the foreign
corporation.
(e) Revocation of a foreign corporation's certificate of authority does not terminate
the authority of the registered agent of the corporation.
