What this means

The California Franchise Tax Board (FTB) has suspended this entity's rights, powers, and privileges. This typically happens because the business failed to file tax returns or pay taxes owed to the state. A business suspended by the FTB cannot legally operate, enter into contracts, or use the courts in California until the suspension is resolved with the FTB.
