Method of restatement of articles of incorporation.
A corporation may restate its articles of incorporation by submitting to the members for their approval the proposed restatement thereof, with or without any new amendments which under section 802 or under the articles of incorporation require the vote of the members. The procedure specified in, and the vote or votes required by, this chapter for amendment of the articles of incorporation shall be applicable. If the restatement includes new amendments not theretofore voted upon by the members, the notice of the meeting at which it is to be voted upon shall specifically refer to such new amendments and summarize the changes to be effected thereby, whether or not the full text of the restatement accompanies such notice. If the directors in good faith believe that the restatement includes no such new amendments, the notice of the meeting shall so state and shall be accompanied by a copy of the proposed restatement of articles of incorporation.

Upon filing the restated articles with the restatement by the Secretary of State, in accordance with section 106, the original articles of incorporation as amended and supplemented shall be superseded, and the restatement, including any further amendments and changes made thereby, shall be the articles of incorporation of the corporation.
