(b)
If a filing office refuses to accept a record for filing, it shall communicate to the person that presented the record the fact of and reason for the refusal and the date and time the record would have been filed had the
filing office accepted it. The communication shall be made at the time and in the manner prescribed by filing-office rule, but in the case of a filing office described in paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 9501, in no event more than two business days after the filing office receives the record.
