1. The Secretary of State shall provide
written notice to each professional association which is in default pursuant to
the provisions of NRS 89.252 . The
written notice:
(a) Must include a statement indicating the
amount of the filing fee, penalties incurred and costs remaining unpaid.
(b) At the request of the professional
association, may be provided electronically.
2. On the first day of the first
anniversary of the month following the month in which the filing was required,
the articles of association of the professional association are revoked and its
right to transact business is forfeited.
3. The Secretary of State shall compile a
complete list containing the names of all professional associations whose right
to transact business has been forfeited.
4. The Secretary of State shall forthwith
notify each professional association specified in subsection 3 by providing
written notice of the forfeiture of its right to transact business. The written
notice:
(a) Must include a statement indicating the
amount of the filing fee, penalties incurred and costs remaining unpaid.
(b) At the request of the professional
association, may be provided electronically.
5. If the articles of association of a
professional association are revoked and the right to transact business is
forfeited, all the property and assets of the defaulting professional
association must be held in trust by its members, as for insolvent
corporations, and the same proceedings may be had with respect to its property
and assets as apply to insolvent corporations. Any interested person may
institute proceedings at any time after a forfeiture has been declared, but, if
the Secretary of State reinstates the articles of association, the proceedings
must be dismissed and all property restored to the members of the professional
association.
6. If the assets of the professional
association are distributed, they must be applied to:

professional association.
Any balance
remaining must be distributed as set forth in the articles of association or,
if no such provisions exist, among the members of the professional association.
