SPIRO T. AGNEW, Governor

(c) No corporation of this State shall be dissolved by decree of
any court of this State, unless counsel of record has filed in such court
a certificate that, twenty days or more before the entry of such
decree, notice that entry of such decree would be requested was
mailed by registered mail to the Comptroller of the Treasury, the
[Commission] Department and the collector of taxes of every county
and municipality to which the [Commission] Department had
certified any assessment of personal property taxable to such cor-
poration for any years for which the collection of taxes thereon was
not barred by Section 212 of Article 81 or otherwise, as shown by a
list of such collectors signed and dated by the [Commission] Depart-
ment not more than ninety days before the entry of such decree, and
appended to such certificate of counsel. The [Commission] Depart-
ment shall furnish such a list to such counsel, without charge, on
receipt by the [Commission] Department of notice from such coun-
sel that the entry of such decree will be requested.

make proper the forfeiture of its charter.

(b)    Upon such authorization by the [Commission] Depart-
ment, the Attorney General shall, if he deems the facts warrant
such action, institute proceedings in the name of the State against
the corporation by filing a petition for forfeiture of the charter and
dissolution of the corporation in any court of equity in the county in
which is located the principal office of the corporation in this State.
The petition shall set forth the facts upon which the forfeiture of the
charter and dissolution of the corporation is sought.
