Sec. 15.
Certificate
of organization.
The Secretary of State shall examine the application and statement and,
if he finds that the name proposed for the district 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 file them and shall record
them 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. Upon receipt of such new
name, free of such defects, the Secretary of State shall record the
application and statement, with the name so modified, in an appropriate
book of record in his office. When the application and statement have been
made, filed, and recorded, as herein provided, the district constitutes a
public body corporate and politic. The Secretary of State shall make and
issue to the temporary directors a certificate, under the seal of the
State, of the due organization of the district, and shall record such
certificate with the application and statement. A copy of the statement and
the certificate of organization, duly certified by the Secretary of State,
shall be recorded with the recorder of the county in which the
office of the district is located.
