1309. Certificate of amendment; contents, effect.
(a)  To accomplish such amendment a certificate, entitled "Certificate
  of  amendment  of  application  for  authority   of .......   (name   of
  corporation)  under section 1309 of the Not-for-Profit Corporation Law,"
  shall be signed and delivered to the department of state. It  shall  set
  forth:
(1)  The name of the foreign corporation as it appears on the index of
  names of existing domestic and authorized foreign  corporations  of  any
  kind  in the department of state and the fictitious name the corporation
  has agreed to use in this state pursuant to  paragraph  (d)  of  section
  1301 of this article.
(2) The jurisdiction of its incorporation.
(3) The date it was authorized to conduct activities in this state.
(4) Each amendment effected thereby.
(5)  If  the  true  corporate name of the foreign corporation is to be
  changed, a statement that the change of name has been effected under the
  laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation and the  date  the  change
  was so effected.
(6)  If  the activities it proposes to conduct in this state are to be
  enlarged,  limited  or  otherwise  changed,  a  statement  that  it   is
  authorized  to  conduct  in  the  jurisdiction  of its incorporation the
  activities which it proposes to conduct in this state.
(b) If an authorized foreign corporation has changed its name  in  the
  jurisdiction of its incorporation, it shall deliver to the department of
  state  within  twenty  days  after  the  change became effective in that
  jurisdiction a certificate of amendment under paragraph  (a).  Upon  its
  failure to deliver such certificate, its authority to conduct activities
  in  this  state  shall  upon  the  expiration  of  said  twenty  days be
  suspended. The filing by the department of state  of  a  certificate  of
  amendment  changing  the corporation name within one hundred twenty days
  after the effective date of the change of name in  the  jurisdiction  of
  its  incorporation  shall  annul  the  suspension  and  its authority to
  conduct activities in this state shall be restored and continue as if no
  suspension had occurred. The secretary of state shall  continue,  during
  such  suspension,  as agent of the foreign corporation upon whom process
  against the foreign corporation may be served in the manner set forth in
  paragraph (b) of section 306 (Service of process).
(c) A certificate of amendment of application for authority shall  not
  be  filed, if the amendment adds, changes or eliminates a purpose, power
  or provision the inclusion of which  in  an  application  for  authority
  requires  consent  or  approval  of  any governmental body or officer or
  other person or body,  or  if  the  amendment  changes  the  name  of  a
  corporation whose application for authority had such consent or approval
  endorsed  thereon or annexed thereto, unless such consent or approval is
  endorsed on or annexed to the certificate of  amendment  of  application
  for authority.
