A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO INCREASE REGISTRATION AND RENEWAL FEES FOR PROFESSIONAL CORPORATIONS.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  G.S. 55B-10 reads as rewritten:
"§ 55B-10. Registration with licensing board.
No professional corporation shall open, operate, or maintain an establishment for any of the purposes set forth in this Chapter without first having obtained a certificate of registration from the licensing board or boards. Applications for such registration shall be made to the licensing board or boards in writing and shall contain the name and address of the corporation and such other information as may be required by the licensing board or boards. If the board finds that no disciplinary action is pending before the board against any of the licensed incorporators, officers, directors, shareholders or employees of such corporation, and if it appears that such corporation will be conducted in compliance with the law and the regulations of the board, the board shall issue, upon the payment of a registration fee, not to exceed one hundred dollars ($100.00), a certificate of registration which shall remain effective until January 1 following the date of such registration or until such other expiration or renewal date as may be established by law or by the regulations of the licensing board."
Sec. 2.  G.S. 55B-11 reads as rewritten:
"§ 55B-11. Renewal of certificate of registration.
Upon written application of the holder, accompanied by a fee not to exceed the sum of one hundred dollars ($100.00), the licensing board shall renew the certificate of registration of a professional corporation as required by law or the regulations of the licensing board if the board finds that the corporation has complied with its regulations and the provisions of this section. If the corporation does not apply for renewal of its certificate of registration within 30 days after the date of the expiration of such certificate, the certificate of registration shall be automatically suspended and may be reinstated within the calendar year upon the payment of the required renewal fee plus a penalty of ten dollars ($10.00), if such corporation is then otherwise qualified and entitled to a renewal of its certificate of registration."
Sec. 3.  This act becomes effective July 1, 1991.
