(a) Before a corporation has received any payment for any of its stock, it may amend its articles of incorporation at any time or times, in any and as many respects as may be desired, so long as its articles of incorporation, as amended, would contain only such provisions as it would be lawful and proper to insert in an original articles of incorporation filed at the time of filing the amendment.
(b) The amendment of the articles of incorporation authorized by this section shall be adopted by a majority of the incorporators, if directors were not named in the original articles of incorporation or have not yet been elected, or, if directors were named in the original articles of incorporation or have been elected and have qualified, by a majority of the directors. A certificate setting forth the amendment and certifying that the corporation has not received any payment for any of its stock, or that the corporation has no members, as applicable, and that the amendment has been duly adopted in accordance with the provisions of this section shall be executed and filed in accordance with K.S.A. 2017 Supp. 17-7908 through 17-7910, and amendments thereto.
