§ 17-14-306 — Filing in office of secretary of state

(a) Two (2) signed copies of the certificate of limited
partnership and of any certificates of amendment or cancellation
(or of any judicial decree of amendment or cancellation) shall
be delivered to the secretary of state. A person who executes a
certificate as an agent or fiduciary need not exhibit evidence
of his authority as a prerequisite to filing. Unless the
secretary of state finds that any certificate does not conform
to law, upon receipt of all filing fees required by law he
shall:
(i) Endorse on each duplicate original the word
"Filed" and the day, month and year of the filing thereof;
(ii) File one (1) duplicate original in his office;
and
(iii) Return the other duplicate original to the
person who filed it or his representative.
(b) Upon the filing of a certificate of amendment (or
judicial decree of amendment) in the office of the secretary of
state, the certificate of limited partnership shall be amended
as set forth therein, and upon the effective date of a
certificate of cancellation (or a judicial decree thereof), the
certificate of limited partnership is cancelled.
(c) If the secretary of state refuses to file a
certificate under subsection (a) of this section, the secretary
of state shall return it to the person who delivered it or to
the person's representative within fifteen (15) days after the
document was delivered, together with a brief, written
explanation of the reason for the refusal.
