ARTICLE 1 GENERAL PROVISIONS

14-3-124. Correcting filed document.

  1. A domestic or foreign corporation may correct a document filed by the Secretary of State if the document:
    1. Contains an incorrect statement; or
    2. Was defectively executed, attested, sealed, verified, or acknowledged.
  2. A document is corrected:
    1. By preparing articles of correction that:
      1. Describe the document (including its filing date);
      2. Specify the incorrect statement and the reason it is incorrect or the manner in which the execution was defective; and
      3. Correct the incorrect statement or defective execution; and
    2. By delivering the articles of correction to the Secretary of State for filing.
  3. Articles of correction are effective on the effective date of the document they correct except as to persons relying on the uncorrected document and adversely affected by the correction. As to those persons, articles of correction are effective when filed.

(Code 1981, §14-3-124, enacted by Ga. L. 1991, p. 465, § 1; Ga. L. 2002, p. 989, § 8.)

COMMENT

Subsection (b)(2) refers to "delivering the articles of correction," while the Business Code refers only to "delivering the articles." This change is intended to clarify the reference to "articles of correction" in this section and is necessitated by the Code's use of the term "articles" as synonymous with "articles of incorporation." See Section 14-3-140(1).
