Effect of certificate of authority.

(2) A foreign corporation holding a valid certificate of authority shall have no greater rights and privileges than a domestic corporation of like character.

Notes: *Reviser's note: The reference to "sections 202 through 205 of this act" has been translated to "chapter 23B.19 RCW," dealing with significant business transactions. A literal translation would be "RCW 23B.900.010 through 23B.900.040" which appears to be erroneous.
