§239.1. Certificate of correction
A. Whenever the original, amended, or restated articles of incorporation or an initial report filed with the secretary of state under any provision of this Chapter is an inaccurate record of the corporate action therein referred to, or is defectively or erroneously executed or acknowledged, such instrument may be corrected by filing with the secretary of state a certificate of correction which shall be executed, acknowledged, filed, and recorded in accordance with this Section. The certificate of correction shall specify the inaccuracy or defect to be corrected and shall set forth the portion of the instrument in corrected form.

(3) The certificate of correction shall be acknowledged by the officer who signed it or may be in the form of an authentic act.

After all taxes, fees, and charges have been paid as required by law, the secretary of state shall record the certificate of correction in his office and endorse thereon the date and, if requested, the hour of the filing thereof with him.
(2) The certificate of correction shall be effective as of the date the original instrument is filed, except as to those persons who are substantially and adversely affected by the correction, and as to those persons the corrected certificate shall be effective from the filing date.
