Chronological by date of dissolution or annulment.

Administrative History

These records were compiled pursuant to Chapter 297 of the Laws of 1929 which required the state tax commission to transmit to the Department of State a list of all corporations not having filed an annual franchise tax return during a five year period from its date of incorporation or filing of last return. The New York State Bulletin was published by the Department of State pursuant to Chapter 652 of the Laws of 1981, which required that among other items, the Bulletin was to include the names of all corporations dissolved by proclamation. The Bulletin was published between 1928 and 1979 and is now entitled the New York State Register.

Scope and Content Note
