(75 ILCS 60/3.1) (from Ch. 81, par. 34.1)

Sec. 3.1.

A corporation organized under this Act may amend its articles of
incorporation, from time to time, in any respect which is consistent with
this Act. An amendment shall be adopted at a meeting of the board of
trustees, managers or directors upon receiving the vote of a majority of
the trustees, managers or directors in office. Any number of amendments may
be submitted and voted upon at any one meeting.

The articles of amendment shall be executed in duplicate by the
corporation by its secretary, or assistant secretary and by one other
officer, verified by either of the officers executing such statement, and
shall set forth:

(a) The name of the corporation;

(b) The amendment so adopted; and

(c) A statement of the date of the meeting of the board of trustees,
managers or directors at which the amendment was adopted and of the fact
that such amendment received the vote of a majority of the trustees,
managers or directors in office.

Duplicate originals of the articles of amendment shall be delivered to
the Secretary of State, who shall file one such duplicate original in his
office, and issue articles of amendment to which he shall affix the
other duplicate original. Such articles of amendment, with the duplicate
original of the articles of amendment affixed thereto by the Secretary of
State, shall be returned to the corporation or its representative and shall
thereupon be filed by the corporation for record in the office of the
recorder where the articles of incorporation are recorded.

Upon the issuance of the articles of amendment by the Secretary of
State, the amendment shall become effective and the articles of
incorporation shall be deemed to be amended accordingly. No amendment shall
affect any existing cause of action in favor of or against the corporation,
or any pending action to which such corporation shall be a party.
