Failure to renew, involuntary closure.
(1) Any entity registered under RCW 11.110.060, 19.09.075, or 19.09.079 that fails to renew its registration by the renewal date specified by these rules is delinquent and subject to a late fee as provided in WAC 434-120-042.
(a) The charities program shall send by postal or electronic mail a delinquency notice within sixty days of the entity's delinquent status to the entity's address on record. The delinquency notice shall request the entity to provide the required items within thirty days of the date of the notice in order to renew its registration. The entity's failure to receive the notice does not alter its delinquent status or relieve it of the requirement to renew. If the notice is returned as undeliverable, the entity's status shall change to "failure to register/renew."
(b) An entity that fails to submit the required items within thirty days of the date of the notice shall be involuntarily closed, and the entity's status shall change to "failure to register/renew."
(2) If a registration or renewal is incomplete, the charities program shall contact the entity by postal or electronic mail and request the entity to submit the required items within thirty days of the date of the notice. If the requested items are not received within thirty days, the registration or renewal shall not be filed. If the entity's renewal date has lapsed, or if the notice is returned as undeliverable, the organization shall be involuntarily closed. Filing fees are nonrefundable.
