When any such petition is proposed to be filed in, or any such plan of readjustment has been confirmed by, any court of the United States, the subdivision, public board or corporation, parish, municipality, or taxing district, shall, before it files the petition or takes any action necessary to carry out any confirmed plan, furnish a certified copy of the petition, or of the decree of confirmation, to the governor and the Attorney General and the petition shall not be filed, nor shall the plan of readjustment be carried out unless approved by both of them.
