CORPORATIONS CODE
SECTION 6810-6815




6810.  (a) Upon the failure of a corporation to file the statement
required by Section 6210, the Secretary of State shall mail a notice
of that delinquency to the corporation. The notice shall also contain
information concerning the application of this section, and advise
the corporation of the penalty imposed by Section 19141 of the
Revenue and Taxation Code for failure to timely file the required
statement after notice of delinquency has been mailed by the
Secretary of State. If, within 60 days after the mailing of the
notice of delinquency, a statement pursuant to Section 6210 has not
been filed by the corporation, the Secretary of State may pursuant to
regulation certify the name of the corporation to the Franchise Tax
Board.
   (b) Upon certification pursuant to subdivision (a), the Franchise
Tax Board shall assess against the corporation a penalty of fifty
dollars ($50) pursuant to Section 19141 of the Revenue and Taxation
Code.
   (c) The penalty herein provided shall not apply to a corporation
that on or prior to the date of certification pursuant to subdivision
(a) has dissolved or has been merged into another corporation.
   (d) The penalty herein provided shall not apply and the Secretary
of State need not mail a notice of delinquency to a corporation the
corporate powers, rights, and privileges of which have been suspended
by the Franchise Tax Board pursuant to Section 23301, 23301.5, or
23775 of the Revenue and Taxation Code on or prior to, and remain
suspended on, the last day of the filing period pursuant to Section
6210. The Secretary of State need not mail a form pursuant to Section
6210 to a corporation the corporate powers, rights, and privileges
of which have been so suspended by the Franchise Tax Board on or
prior to, and remain suspended on, the day the Secretary of State
prepares the forms for mailing.
   (e) If, after certification pursuant to subdivision (a), the
Secretary of State finds the required statement was filed before the
expiration of the 60-day period after mailing of the notice of
delinquency, the Secretary of State shall promptly decertify the name
of the corporation to the Franchise Tax Board. The Franchise Tax
Board shall then promptly abate any penalty assessed against the
corporation pursuant to Section 19141 of the Revenue and Taxation
Code.
   (f) If the Secretary of State determines that the failure of a
corporation to file a statement required by Section 6210 is excusable
because of reasonable cause or unusual circumstances that justify
the failure, the Secretary of State may waive the penalty imposed by
this section and by Section 19141 of the Revenue and Taxation Code,
in which case the Secretary of State shall not certify the name of
the corporation to the Franchise Tax Board, or if already certified,
the Secretary of State shall promptly decertify the name of the
corporation.

entry in any book of accounts or other record or document kept by the
corporation is guilty of a crime.

to investigate its affairs, with intent to deceive such officer or
board in respect thereto, is punishable by imprisonment in a state
prison, or by imprisonment in a county jail for not more than one
year.

punish any person for any conduct which constitutes a crime under any
other statute.
