A: It primarily depends on what your operating agreement says regarding consent for making changes. That will control the process. If it is just changes to the operating agreement, it does not need to be reported to the Secretary of State. Changes to the Articles of Organization would need to be reported, however.
A: Thank you for your question. From the facts you presented, this would not be duress. You could argue undue influence since they were pressuring you, but it lacks the duress element since you could have just not participated. Kansas is also very generous in favoring the enforceability of liability waivers, so the specific facts of the incident and the terms of the waiver would have to be taken into consideration. Please let us know if you have any further questions!
