- (a) The secretary of state will file for record a limited partnership certificate, amendment, merger, conversion, or cancellation when the secretary of state determines that the document satisfies the minimum statutory requirements for filing with the secretary of state. The secretary of state will not determine whether the person or persons signing the document were in fact authorized to do so on behalf of the limited partnership.
- (b) The secretary of state will not reject the filing of a certificate of limited partnership or a certificate of registration by a foreign limited partnership that identifies as one of its general partners an unqualified foreign corporation or limited liability company.
