the corporation the action required by § 13-78 of the stockholders.

§ 13-79. When properly signed and acknowledged, the certificate *
referred to in * §§ 18-78 and 13-78.1, together with certified or cashier’s

ecks, bank drafts, postal notes, or money orders, for the fee, if any,
required by law to be paid to the State upon the charter, for costs, and
for recordation in the office of the Commission and in the proper clerk’s
office, respectively, payable as in the case of obtaining an original charter,
may be presented to the Commission, which shall ascertain whether the
applicants have, by complying with the requirements of the law, entitled
themselves to the charter applied for, and shall issue or refuse the same
accordingly; but the Commission shall not issue the charter unless the
applicants produce before the Commission receipts showing the payment
of the registration fee and franchise tax and any other dues to the State
for all the years since the granting of a charter in the first instance.
