§ 487.1317. Application to commissioner to accept surrender of license; approval; notice to owners and creditors; filing objection; sending copy of objection to commissioner.

Sec. 317.(1)

Upon approval of a 2/3 vote of its board of directors and after complying with subsection (2), a Michigan corporation licensee may apply to the commissioner to have the commissioner accept the surrender of the licensee's license. If a Michigan limited liability company licensee dissolves and after it has provided the notice required under subsection (2), it shall apply to the commissioner to surrender its license. If the commissioner determines that the requirements of this section have been satisfied, the commissioner shall approve the application unless in the opinion of the commissioner the purpose of the application is to evade a current or prospective action by the commissioner under article 7. A Michigan corporation licensee shall not dissolve and a Michigan limited liability company shall not complete winding up of its affairs until the commissioner has accepted the surrender of the licensee's license.

(2)

Upon the dissolution of a licensee organized as a Michigan limited liability company or before dissolution of a licensee organized as a Michigan corporation, a licensee shall notify all of its owners and all of its creditors of its dissolution and intention to file the application. Each creditor shall be notified of the right to comment to the commissioner. Each owner shall be notified of the right to file with the licensee for a period of 60 days after the date of the notice an objection to the proposed surrender of the license and shall be advised that, if the owner files an objection, the owner should send a copy of the objection to the commissioner. If owners representing 20% or more of the total ownership vote of the licensee file an objection, the licensee shall not proceed with the application under subsection (1) unless the application is approved by a vote of owners representing 2/3 or more of the total ownership vote.
