Text

If a change of name is made, the corporate authorities shall file a copy of the order making the change with the Secretary of State.

In municipalities with less than 500 population in which no newspaper is published, publication may instead be made by posting a notice in 3 prominent places within the municipality. The courts shall take judicial notice of the change of name.
