5. If a corporation files an amended list of directors and officers with the Secretary of State within 60 days after the date on which the list required by subsection 1 is filed, the corporation or the resigning director or officer is not required to pay a fee for filing the amended list.

6.

9.

12. The Secretary of State may allow a corporation to select an alternative due date for filing the list required by subsection 1.

13. The Secretary of State may adopt regulations to administer the provisions of subsection 12.
