# Adoption of a legal name

Each local housing authority established pursuant to this Chapter, within or together with the resolution required under R.S. 40:393, shall adopt a name for all legal and operating purposes. The name so adopted shall include a reference to the geographic locus of the authority and such other name or identifier as the governing body establishing the authority shall determine. A local housing authority established under prior law may adopt a name consistent with the foregoing requirements by resolution adopted by at least two-thirds of such authority's entire board of commissioners and approved by the governing body of the municipality or parish which established such authority.
