Restoration path for Dr. King PTO charter

The law extends the deadline to December 31, 2026 to file missing annual reports for 1983–2026. The Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Parent-Teacher Organization must file all overdue reports with the Rhode Island Secretary of State and pay the filing fees by that date. It must also pay the General Treasurer a sum set by the Attorney General as a compromise for past penalties. If these steps are met by December 31, 2026, the state vacates the charter forfeiture or revocation and restores all rights and duties as if no forfeiture happened. The act takes effect upon passage, and the group remains subject to normal reporting rules.
