§8. Ordinance adopting new name
A.The municipal governing authority may adopt an ordinance adopting a new name for the municipality and shall submit a certified copy of such ordinance to the governor. The governor shall approve the new name unless he determines that the new name is the same as or so similar to the name of another municipality in the state of Louisiana that the new name would cause considerable confusion.
B.Upon approval by the governor of the name change, the municipal governing authority shall publish the ordinance once in a newspaper of general circulation in the municipality. Upon entry of the ordinance and of a certified copy of this notice in the minutes of a meeting of the governing authority, the change of the name of the municipality shall be effective.
