Associations Code

Pennsylvania · Corporations and Unincorporated Associations · §§ 15-101 to 15-9507 · 683 sections

Overview

The Associations Code sets out Pennsylvania's general framework for forming and maintaining associations, covering incorporation itself — the permitted purposes, the number and qualifications of incorporators, the contents of the articles of incorporation, their advertisement and filing, the legal effect of that filing, and the organization meeting that follows. It builds that framework around documents filed with the Department of State, specifying the department's functions and powers, the form and execution requirements for filed records, docketing statements, fees, and procedures such as the statement of revival and changes to a registered office or the commercial provider furnishing it. Running across these subjects are general provisions on definitions, the subordination of the code to regulatory laws, the scope and limits of equitable relief, delivery of documents and receipt of electronic communications, the treatment of electronic signatures, and the defense of usury.
