Legal Question in Business Law in Florida

non-profit constitution and ByLaws
Is about a non profit org. (church) that have the articles of incorporation and By-Law dated to when the Church was incorporated back in1985. In 1989 the Church dicide to amplify those articles on a bussiness meeting and they approved an extensive list of articles and by-laws. This new version never was sent to the Secretary of State in Tallahasee for a change until a few months agp,and was sent only the part that said the different amount of votes needed to remove the pastor, after more than 10 years of being vote, it is legal to send to the Secretary of State to admend? I want to know which of the two are the legal one. the original, or the one just sent that was voted more than 10 years ago.

Re: non-profit constitution and ByLaws

The amendment is valid provided the proper procedures

in effect at that time were followed. Section

617.0125(4), Florida Statutes provides the filing

of a document does not affect its validity.
