§ 12680 Foreign Corporation Compliance

• •Out‑of‑state (foreign) companies doing business here must follow Chapter 21 of Division 1.
• •If this part of the law says otherwise for a specific issue, that special rule wins.
• •Section 2115 is specifically excluded – foreign companies don’t have to follow it.

A grocery chain from a neighboring state opens a store in the state.

The out‑of‑state grocery chain must register and follow the filing, reporting, and other requirements listed in Chapter 21 of the state’s corporation code, but it can ignore the rules in Section 2115 because the law says that section doesn’t apply.
