MARVIN MANDEL, Governor

1897

Subsection (e) of this section presently
appears as the last sentence of Art. 23,
§90(a). It has been revised to conform
generally with §2—108 relating to resident
agents of Maryland corporations. The phrase
"photocopy of his signed resignation" is added
to conform to the current practice of the
Department, which accepts photocopies in lieu
of a counterpart.

In this section, the term "certification" is
substituted for "certificate" in order to
distinguish the former from the various
certificates, such as a certificate of
registration or qualification, which are
issued by the Department.

The only other changes are in style.

with respect to service of process on a
resident agent, see §1—401 of this article and
M.R. 106.

7-206. CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT TO CHARTER OF QUALIFIED
CORPORATION.

WITHIN 60 DAYS AFTER IT ADOPTS AN AMENDMENT OR
SUPPLEMENT TO ITS CHARTER OR OTHER INSTRUMENT UNDER WHICH
IT IS ORGANIZED, A FOREIGN CORPORATION QUALIFIED TO DO
BUSINESS IN THIS STATE SHALL FILE WITH THE DEPARTMENT AN
OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED STATEMENT WHICH SPECIFIES THE DATE
AND RECORD REFERENCE OF THE AMENDMENT OR SUPPLEMENT.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from the first two
sentences of Art. 23, §90(g).

The term "certified statement" is substituted
for the somewhat redundant "certified
certificate." This conforms to the present
usage in §90(c) — now §7—203(b) - relating to
the initial qualification of the corporation.

The reference to specifying the "nature" of
the instrument is deleted as unnecessary since
it is inconceivable that a statement can
certify to an instrument without, in any
event, somehow identifying its nature.

The actual language of Art. 23, §90(g) appears
to require that the corporation file a
statement "evidencing the amendment,"
presumably by copy or summary of provisions,
