(2) If the resolution or ordinance sets forth the proposed articles of incorporation in full, it shall not be required, any law to the contrary notwithstanding, in publishing the resolution or ordinance under the provisions of existing law, to publish the proposed articles of incorporation in full, but it shall be sufficient compliance with such law in the publication to set forth briefly the substance of the proposed articles of incorporation and to refer to the provisions of this chapter.
(3) Upon adoption under paragraph (1), the legislative body shall cause a notice of the resolution or ordinance to be published at least once in the legal newspaper of the county in which the authority is to be organized and at least once in a newspaper of general circulation in that county. The notice must:
(c) Certificate.--If the secretary finds that the articles of incorporation conform to law, the secretary shall, not prior to the day specified in subsection (a)(3)(ii), endorse approval on the articles. When proper fees and charges have been paid, the secretary shall file the articles and issue a certificate of incorporation to which shall be attached a copy of the approved articles. After issuance of the certificate of incorporation by the secretary, the corporate existence of the authority shall begin when the certificate has been recorded in the office for the recording of deeds in the county where the principal office of the authority is to be located.
