2000 Minnesota Statutes

     62G.08 Approval of articles and bylaws. 

    Subdivision 1.  Articles of incorporation, bylaws or 
 amendments thereto must be approved by the commissioner. Failure 
 of the commissioner to approve or disapprove any article, bylaw 
 or amendment submitted for approval by an order transmitted to 
 the legal service plan corporation within 30 days of receipt and 
 stating the reasons for any disapproval, shall be deemed 
 approval. 

    Upon approval by the commissioner, the legal service plan 
 corporation shall file the articles of incorporation or 
 amendment of articles of incorporation with the secretary of 
 state, together with a copy of the order or an affidavit of an 
 officer of the legal service plan corporation that no order has 
 been issued and that more than 30 days have expired since 
 submission of the proposed articles of incorporation or 
 amendment of articles of incorporation. When the filing fees and 
 charges have been paid as required by law, and the secretary of 
 state determines that the articles of incorporation or 
 amendments of articles of incorporation are in acceptable form, 
 the secretary of state shall record them and take any other 
 action provided for by chapter 317A. 

    Subd. 2.  The existence of a legal service plan corporation 
 hereafter organized shall begin upon issuance of a certificate 
 of incorporation by the secretary of state.  Within 14 days 
 after issuance of the certificate, the legal service plan 
 corporation shall cause to be published in a qualified newspaper 
 in the county in which it has its registered office, a notice 
 stating the name of the legal service corporation, the date of 
 incorporation, the general nature of its business, the address 
 of its registered office, and the names and addresses of the 
 incorporators and directors.
