Illinois § 3

§ 3.

The persons so receiving the articles of organization shall cause the same to be recorded in the recorder's office of the county in which the cemetery is situated, and when so recorded, the association shall be deemed fully organized as a body corporate under the name adopted, and in its corporate name may sue and be sued. Whenever two-thirds of the trustees shall approve a resolution to change the name of a cemetery association, a copy of such resolution and approval thereof duly certified by the President and Secretary of the association shall be filed in the office of the State Comptroller, and upon approval thereof shall be filed in the office of the Secretary of State. Whenever two-thirds of the trustees of a cemetery association approve a resolution to dissolve such corporation a copy of such resolution and approval of the trustees duly certified by the President and Secretary shall be submitted to the Comptroller, and if approved by him a copy of such resolution and approval of the Comptroller shall be duly filed by him in the office of the Secretary of State. Where the association has "care funds" within the meaning of the "Cemetery Care Act", approved July 21, 1947, as amended, the Comptroller shall not approve the dissolution of any Cemetery Association unless proper disposition has been made of such care funds, as provided by law, and in accordance with the Cemetery Care Act. Upon the filing of the resolution of either change of name or dissolution of such cemetery association in the office of the Secretary of State such change of name or dissolution of such cemetery association shall be complete. The Comptroller shall so notify the trustees of such cemetery association. Thereupon the trustees shall cause a copy of such resolution of either change of name or dissolution to be recorded in the recorder's office of the county where the cemetery is situated.
