§ 15303 Corporate Meeting Evidence Presumption

This law says that if a certified copy of a meeting or vote record is filed with the Secretary of State, that copy is automatically accepted as proof that the meeting happened and what decision was made.

Key Takeaways

•A certified copy filed with the Secretary of State proves a meeting or vote occurred
•That copy is accepted as evidence unless someone can show it's false
•It covers both meetings and written votes

Example

A neighborhood association files a certified copy of its meeting minutes showing they voted to install a new playground.

If anyone later claims the vote never happened or the decision was different, the filed copy is taken as official evidence that the meeting took place and the playground decision is valid.

A certified copy of the certificate required by Section 15302 filed in the office of the Secretary of State is presumptive evidence of the holding of the meeting or written vote and the action taken thereat. (Amended by Stats. 1980, Ch. 413, Sec. 7.)
