COMMENT

Unlike the Business Code, this Code imposes no penalty on foreign nonprofit corporations that fail or refuse to obtain a certificate of authority to transact business in this state. Subsection (b) clarifies the absence of a penalty for late filing of annual reports. There is no counterpart in the Business Code, which simply eliminated the late filing penalty by a 1989 amendment to Section 14-2-122.
