§41-10-263. Procedure for incorporation.

To become a corporation, the Governor, the Director of Finance, the Lieutenant Governor, the Speaker of the House, and the Chief Justice shall present to the Secretary of State an application signed by each of them which shall set forth:

(1) The name, official designation, and official residence of each of the applicants, together with a certified copy of the document evidencing each applicant's right to office;

(2) The date on which each applicant was inducted into office and the term of office of each of the applicants;

(3) The name of the proposed corporation, which shall be "Alabama Judicial Building Authority";

(4) The location of the principal office of the proposed corporation, which shall be Montgomery, Alabama; and

(5) Any other matter relating to the incorporation which the applicants may choose to insert and which is not inconsistent with this article or the laws of the state. The application shall be subscribed and sworn to by each of the applicants before an officer authorized by the laws of the state to take acknowledgments to deeds.

The Secretary of State shall examine the application and, if he finds that it substantially complies with the requirements of this section and that the name proposed in the application is not identical with that of a person or other corporation in the state or so nearly similar thereto as to lead to confusion and uncertainty, he shall receive and file it and record it in an appropriate book of records in his office.
