foreign corporation is incorporated govern its incorporation and internal activities.
a. Nothing in this chapter authorizes this state to regulate the incorporation or
internal activities of a foreign corporation.
b. A foreign corporation may not be denied a certificate of authority to conduct
activities in this state by reason of any difference between the laws of the
jurisdiction under which the foreign corporation was incorporated and the laws of
this state.

rights and privileges than a domestic corporation. The certificate of authority does not

domestic corporation is forbidden by law to exercise in this state.

in this state by reason of any difference between the laws of the jurisdiction under
