(a) The name of any soil and water conservation district may be changed with the approval of the Arkansas Soil and Water Conservation Commission upon:
(1) The adoption of a resolution by a majority of the board of directors of the district; and
(2) The filing of a certified copy of the resolution with the Secretary of State.
(b) The Secretary of State shall, if he finds that the name is not identical or so nearly similar to the name of another soil and water conservation district as to lead to confusion or uncertainty, file the resolution and issue a new certificate to the district showing the new name.
