any interrogatories that are reasonably necessary and proper to enable the secretary
of state to ascertain whether the corporation has complied with all the applicable

of state shall certify to the attorney general, for any action that the attorney general
deems appropriate, all interrogatories and answers to them that disclose a violation
of any of the provisions of this chapter.
