§404. Name
The name of each cooperative shall include the words "Electric" and "Cooperative," and the abbreviation "Inc.," provided, however, such limitation shall not apply if, in any affidavit made by the president or vice-president of the cooperative and filed with the Secretary of State, it shall appear that the cooperative desires to transact business in another state and is precluded therefrom by reason of its name; and provided, further, that any corporation which may be converted into a cooperative and become subject to this Part as provided in R.S. 12:417 may at its election retain the corporate name used by it prior to such conversion or such domestication.
The name of a cooperative shall distinguish it from the name of any other corporation organized under the laws of, or authorized to transact business in, this state. The words "Electric" and "Cooperative" shall not both be used in the name of any corporation organized under the laws of, or authorized to transact business in, this state, except a cooperative or a corporation transacting business in this state pursuant to the provisions of this Part.
