(b) When the secretary of state files an entity filing, the secretary of state shall record it as filed on the date and at the time of its delivery.  After filing an entity filing, the secretary of state shall deliver to the person that submitted the filing an electronic copy of the filing with an acknowledgment of the date and time of filing.
