If the authority stated or limited in the articles of organization conflicts with authority stated or limited in a statement of authority filed with the Secretary of State under this Section on behalf of the company, the statement of authority is the effective statement and a person who is not a member or manager may rely upon the terms of the filed statement of authority notwithstanding conflicting terms in the articles of organization.Amended by P.A. 101-0553,§ 5, eff. 1/1/2020.Added by P.A. 099-0637,§ 5, eff. 7/1/2017.
