(1) Endorse on the accepted signed original the word "Filed", and the date of its acceptance for filing;
(2) The accepted original filing and certificate shall be retained by the secretary of state as a state record and a copy of both shall be returned to the person who submitted said document or the person's representative.
2. Upon the return by the secretary of any articles, notices, documents or judicial decree of amendment marked "Filed", the person or persons executing such documents shall promptly deliver or mail a copy thereof to each member unless the operating agreement provides otherwise.
