Articles of incorporation, amendment, consolidation, merger, conversion or dissolution, as the case may be, when executed and acknowledged and accompanied by such affidavits as may be required by applicable provisions of this act [ 62-15-1 to 62-15-32 NMSA 1978], shall be presented to the state corporation commission  [public regulation commission] for filing in the records of that office. If the state corporation commission  [public regulation commission] shall find that the articles presented conform to the requirements of this act, he [it] shall, upon the payment of the fees as in this act provided, file the articles so presented in the records of his [its] office and upon such filing the incorporation, amendment, consolidation, merger, conversion or dissolution provided for therein shall be in effect. The state corporation commission  [public regulation commission] immediately upon the filing in his [its] office of any articles pursuant to this act shall transmit a certified copy thereof to the county clerk of the county in which the principal office of each cooperative or corporation affected by such incorporation, amendment, consolidation, merger, conversion or dissolution shall be located. The clerk of any county, upon receipt of any such certified copy, shall file and index the same in the records of his office, but the failure of the state corporation commission  [public regulation commission] or of a clerk of a county to comply with the provisions of this section shall not invalidate such articles. The provisions of this section shall also apply to certificates of election to dissolve and affidavits of compliance executed pursuant to Subsection B(2) of Section 18 [ 62-15-18 NMSA 1978] of this act.
