A. Articles of incorporation, amendment, consolidation, merger, conversion, or dissolution, as the case may be, when executed by authentic act shall be presented to the secretary of state for filing in the records of his office. If the secretary of state shall find that the articles presented conform to the requirements of this Part, he shall, upon payment of a fee as provided in R.S. 49:222, file the articles so presented in the records of his office, and upon such filing, the incorporation, amendment, consolidation, merger, conversion, or dissolution provided for therein shall be in effect. B. The cooperative or corporation shall deliver a certified copy thereof to the recorder of mortgages or clerk of court of the parish in which the principal office of each cooperative or corporation affected by such incorporation, amendment, consolidation, merger, conversion, or dissolution shall be located. The recorder of mortgages or clerk of court of any parish upon receipt of any such certified copy, shall file and index the same in the records of his office, but the failure of the secretary of state or of the recorder of mortgages or clerk of court of the parish to comply with the provisions of this Section shall not invalidate such articles. The provisions of this Section shall also apply to certificates of election to dissolve and affidavits of compliance executed pursuant to R.S. 12:418(B).
