CORPORATIONS-NO CERTIFICATE
Summary
Amends the Library Incorporation Act, the State Housing Act, the Neighborhood Redevelopment Corporation Law, the Business Corporation Act of 1983, the General Not For Profit Corporation Act of 1986, the Co-operative Act, and the Cemetery Association Act. Eliminates the term "certificate" in the various acts. In the amendatory changes to the Co-operative Act, eliminates language requiring the Secretary of State to issue a certificate of incorporation along with a duplicate copy to an incorporator whose articles of incorporation conform to law, and instead provides that the Secretary of State shall return a true copy of the articles of incorporation to the incorporators or their representative, who shall within 15 days file such document for record in the office of the recorder. Updates references in the State Housing Act to the General Not For Profit Corporation Act of 1986 (rather than the General Not For Profit Corporation Act). Effective January 1, 2010.
