Requirements one by one
Before activity begins
Section 7-134-101 bases its simplified route on having no members. A majority of directors approves, or, when there are no directors, a majority of incorporators. They must also adopt a plan identifying asset recipients after creditors are paid.
Board or manager approval
Section 7-134-102 ordinarily requires board adoption and recommendation before entitled members approve. If a conflict or special circumstances make a recommendation inappropriate, communicate the reason. The board may condition effectiveness and members may condition approval. Section 7-128-205 supplies the ordinary majority-of-directors quorum and majority-present voting rule, subject to its variations.
Member vote and class approval
Section 7-134-102 incorporates §§ 7-127-205 and 7-127-206. With a quorum, votes favoring dissolution must exceed votes opposing it in each entitled voting group. The default quorum is 25% of that group's entitled votes. Greater approval requirements may apply. Section 7-127-107 ordinarily requires unanimous written consent unless the bylaws provide otherwise; sufficient writings must arrive within 60 days after the earliest received writing. When a permitted nonunanimous route is used, promptly notify entitled members with the material that would accompany the meeting notice.
Notice, plan, and other approval
Sections 7-134-101 and 7-134-102 require the asset-recipient plan. The voting-member meeting notice states the dissolution purpose and includes the proposal or a summary. Section 7-127-104 requires notice consistent with the bylaws and in a fair and reasonable manner; its safe harbor uses 10–60 days, or at least 30 days for mail other than first-class or registered mail. Its newspaper option requires five publications with the stated first- and last-publication timing.
Filing contents and signer
Section 7-134-103 states the entity name, principal-office address and that the nonprofit is dissolved. Section 7-90-301 expressly removes a signature or execution as a condition of filing and requires at least one delivering individual's true name and mailing address. Under § 7-90-301.5, delivery itself carries perjury affirmations about the document, its facts and compliance.
Revocation or reversal
Section 7-134-104 is repealed. Section 7-90-304(3) allows a correction statement revoking a delayed filing before it takes effect. After dissolution, §§ 7-90-1001–1005 provide reinstatement: obtain the governing-document vote or, if unspecified, the vote sufficient for dissolution, and satisfy the statutory objection conditions. Articles give the formation date, governing statute, approval-compliance statement, office, agent and applicable names. At two years dissolved, or if duration is unknown, § 7-90-1003 also requires an authority affidavit and photographic identification. Reinstatement costs $100 under the Secretary's schedule and treats existence as uninterrupted, while preserving reliance rights.
What trips people up
- A payment reversal can undo the filing record. Section 7-90-303(5), effective August 12, 2026, says an unsuccessfully processed or reversed payment means the document was not successfully filed; the Secretary may void it and adjust status or remove it.
- A delayed date has a ceiling. Section 7-90-304 caps the delay at the ninetieth day; a date without a time generally uses 11:59 p.m., subject to the later filing time.
- A plan cannot override asset restrictions. Section 7-134-105 requires conditional assets to follow their conditions and protects the prescribed exempt/public-purpose destination of assets of a § 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
Common questions
Does property ownership change automatically?
No. Section 7-134-105(3)(a) says dissolution does not transfer title.
Does a pending court proceeding stop?
No. Section 7-134-105(3)(e) says dissolution does not abate or suspend it.

(7) In the event action is taken under subsection (1) of this section with less than unanimous consent of all members entitled to vote upon the action, the nonprofit corporation or the members taking the action shall, promptly after all of the writings necessary to effect the action have been received by the nonprofit corporation, give notice of such action to all members who were entitled to vote upon the action. The notice shall contain or be accompanied by the same material, if any, that under articles 121 to 137 of this title would have been required to be given to members in or with a notice of the meeting at which the action would have been submitted to the members for action.

(4) If two or more documents are simultaneously delivered to the secretary of state, each of the documents shall be deemed to have been filed simultaneously if each identifies, to the satisfaction of the secretary of state, all of the documents that are to be deemed to have been filed simultaneously and states that all of such documents are to be deemed to have been filed simultaneously.
