The amended articles of incorporation and bylaws must be submitted to the commission for approval. Upon approval, the commission shall issue a certificate of approval. The amended articles of incorporation must be filed by the secretary of state without charge, but may not be filed unless accompanied by the certificate of approval. If the articles of incorporation are amended, the amendment must be filed with the county clerk or clerks.
