the information to be false at the time the record was signed; and [PL 2005, c. 543, Pt. C, §2
(NEW).]
B. A general partner that has notice that the information was false when the record was filed or
has become false because of changed circumstances, if the general partner has notice for a
reasonably sufficient time before the information is relied upon to enable the general partner to
effect an amendment under section 1322, file a petition pursuant to section 1325 or deliver to the
Secretary of State for filing a change of registered agent as required by Title 5, section 108 or a
statement of correction as required by section 1327. [PL 2007, c. 323, Pt. F, §14 (AMD); PL
