SB 157 Rhode Island Senate · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT TO VACATE THE FORFEITURE OR REVOCATION OF THE CHARTER OF F.H.J. MOVING & STORAGE, INC.

SB 157 allows F.H.J. Moving & Storage, Inc. (a company incorporated since 1962) to have its business charter reinstated if it meets specific requirements by December 31, 2025. To qualify, the company must file all overdue tax returns, pay all outstanding state taxes, obtain a certificate from the tax administrator confirming payment, and submit required reports and fees to the secretary of state. If these steps are completed, the state will reverse the previous revocation of its charter, restoring the company's legal status and business privileges. This bill directly affects only F.H.J. Moving & Storage, Inc. and does not create new state policies or impact other businesses.
