B, §1 (NEW).] The restated certificate of limited liability partnership must be executed and filed in the manner provided for any other amendment to the certificate of limited liability partnership. Upon filing of the restated certificate of limited liability partnership by the Secretary of State, the restatement, including further amendments made as a result of the restatement, constitutes the certificate of the limited liability partnership pursuant to section 822. [PL 1995, c. 633, Pt. B, §1 (NEW).]
