     (b)  Articles of dissolution, articles of conversion, and articles of merger or share exchange may specify a delayed effective time and date, and if it does so the document becomes effective at the time and date specified.  If a delayed effective date but no time is specified, the document is effective at the close of business on that date.  A delayed effective date for a document may not be later than the thirtieth day after the date it is filed.
