(Effective January 1, 2010) Delivery to and filing of records; effective time and date.

(a) A record authorized or required to be delivered for filing under this chapter must be captioned to describe the record's purpose, be signed as required in this chapter, be in a medium permitted by the judge of probate of the county in which is located the initial designated office specified in the certificate of limited partnership, and be delivered to the judge of probate, together with the requisite additional exact or conformed copies provided in this subsection and in subsection (e). Unless such judge of probate determines that a record does not substantially conform to law, and upon compliance with the filing requirements of this chapter and the payment of all filing fees, such judge of probate shall endorse thereon the word "Filed" and the day, month, and year of the filing, shall file the same in his or her office, and shall certify the copies provided for in this subsection and in subsection (e). The judge of probate shall deliver a copy of the filed record and a receipt for the fees to the person on whose behalf the record was filed.

(b) Upon request and payment of a fee, such judge of probate shall deliver to the requester a certified copy of the requested record.

(c) Except as otherwise provided in Sections 10-9C-116 and 10-9C-207, a record delivered for filing under this chapter may specify an effective time and a delayed effective date. Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, a record which is filed is effective:

(1) if the record does not specify an effective time and does not specify a delayed effective date, on the date and at the time the record is filed as evidenced by the endorsement of the date and time on the record;

(2) if the record specifies an effective time but not a delayed effective date, on the date the record is filed at the time specified in the record;

(3) if the record specifies a delayed effective date but not an effective time, at 12:01 a.m. on the earlier of:

(A) the specified date; or

(B) the 90th day after the record is filed; or

(4) if the record specifies an effective time and a delayed effective date, at the specified time on the earlier of:

(A) the specified date; or

(B) the 90th day after the record is filed.

(d) The acceptance and filing of a record by any judge of probate of this state shall be conclusive evidence that there has been substantial compliance with the requirements of this section with respect to such record.

(e) Within 10 days after the issuance of the certified copy under subsection (a) hereof, the judge of probate shall transmit such copy to the Secretary of State, indicating that the record was filed, and indicating the place, date, and time of the filing.

(f) The Secretary of State shall keep an alphabetical list of limited partnerships, together with the data contained in any records delivered to the Secretary of State.

(g) Any record which is required by this chapter to be filed other than with a judge of probate must be captioned to describe the record's purpose, be signed as required in this chapter, be in a medium permitted by the official with whom the filing is made, and be delivered to such official. Unless such official determines that a record does not substantially conform to law, and upon compliance with the filing requirements of this chapter and the payment of all filing fees, such official shall endorse thereon the word "Filed" and the day, month, and year of the filing, shall file the same in his or her office, and shall send a copy of the filed record and a receipt for the fees to the person on whose behalf the record was filed.
