B. A general partner that has notice that the information was false when the record was filed or has become false because of changed circumstances, if the general partner has notice for a reasonably sufficient time before the information is relied upon to enable the general partner to effect an amendment under section 1322, file a petition pursuant to section 1325 or deliver to the Secretary of State for filing a change of registered agent as required by Title 5, section 108 or a statement of correction as required by section 1327.
