(70 ILCS 405/15.01) (from Ch. 5, par. 120.1)
Sec. 15.01.
Whenever it is desired to change the name of an existing
district the directors shall submit the proposed new name to the
Department, together with their reasons for desiring the change. If the
Department approves the change it shall submit the proposed name to the
Secretary of State who, if he finds that the proposed name is not identical
with that of any other district of this state or so nearly similar as to
lead to confusion or uncertainty, he shall receive and record the change in
an appropriate book of record in his office. If the Secretary of State
finds that the name proposed for the district is identical with that of any
other district of this State, or so nearly similar as to lead to confusion
and uncertainty, he shall certify such fact to the Department, which shall
thereupon submit to the Secretary of State a new name for the district,
which is not subject to such defects and which is satisfactory to the
directors. Upon receipt of such new name, free of such defects, the
Secretary of State shall record the change in an appropriate book of record
in his office.
