In plain language#

The secretary of state may undo a filing that the secretary of state determines "has been made in error by the cooperative," by revoking and expunging it, and may "authorize a curative document to be filed." P1, § 308B.231 The statute text sets a $500 fee for the revocation or expungement and the curative filing together.

How it works in practice#

  • The power belongs to the secretary of state ("may"); the section does not give a cooperative a right to demand correction, and it does not say how a cooperative asks for it or how the determination is made.
  • The $500 fee is much higher than the $35 default in § 308B.111 and the $60 articles fee in § 308B.215, so careful drafting before filing is cheaper than a cure afterward.
  • The section applies to filings "made in error by the cooperative." It does not say what happens to an error made by the secretary of state's office.
