1. The Program shall examine the application and statement, and if the Program finds that the name proposed for the district is not identical with that of any other conservation district of this State or so nearly similar as to lead to confusion or uncertainty, the Program shall record them in an appropriate book of record.
2. If the Program finds that the name proposed for the district is identical with that of any other conservation district of this State, or so nearly similar as to lead to confusion and uncertainty, the Program shall notify the Commission. The Commission shall thereupon submit a new name for the district. Upon receipt of a new name, free of such defects, the Program shall record the application and statement, with the name so modified, in an appropriate book of record.
3. When the application and statement have been recorded, the district becomes a governmental subdivision of this State and a public body corporate and politic.
4. The Program shall make and issue to the supervisors a certificate, over the signature of a member of the staff of the Program, of the organization of the district.
5. The boundaries of the district must include the territory determined by the Commission, but must not include any area included within the boundaries of another conservation district organized under the provisions of this chapter.
