§ 100000 Repealed Corporate Laws

This law wipes out many old sections of the General Laws and says that companies that were created before noon on January 1, 1873 and never chose to stay under the new code can still use the old laws that were repealed.

Key Takeaways

  • •Many sections of the old General Laws are repealed.
  • •Corporations that existed before Jan 1, 1873 and did not elect to continue under the new code are not affected by the repeal.
  • •Those corporations can still apply the repealed acts and sections to their operations.

Example

A business that was started in 1872 and never opted into the new code can still rely on the old rules that were repealed.

Because the statute says those old companies are not affected by the repeal, they can keep using the previous rules even though those rules are officially removed.
