Whenever the Articles of Incorporation of a foreign non-profit corporation authorized to conduct affairs in this state are amended, the foreign corporation must, within thirty (30) days after the amendment becomes effective, file in the office of the secretary of state a copy of the amendment duly certified by the proper officer of the state or country under the laws of which it is incorporated. The certified copy must be dated within sixty (60) days of the receipt and filing of the evidence of amendment. The filing thereof shall not of itself enlarge or alter the purpose or purposes which the corporation is authorized to pursue in conducting its affairs in this state, nor authorize the corporation to conduct affairs in this state under any name other than the name set forth in its certificate of authority. 2. The filing fee for filing an evidence of amendment is $25.00, and payment should be made payable to the Rhode Island Secretary of State. 3. If an amendment reflects a change in the corporate name or the corporation desires to pursue in this state other or additional purposes than those set forth in its prior Application for Certificate of Authority, the foreign non-profit corporation must also file an Amended Certificate of Authority. The filing fee for an Amended Certificate of Authority is $25.00. 4. At the time of filing the evidence of amendment, the corporation must be in good standing and current with the filing of annual reports and the maintenance of its registered agent and its registered office in this state.
