Approval and record of charter.

Upon approval by the department, the proposed charter must be submitted to and approved by the board of county commissioners of the county in which the principal office of the association will be located. After approval by the board of county commissioners, the proposed charter and proof of approval must be submitted to the circuit judge. If no cause is shown to the contrary and the judge finds that the proposed charter is in proper form and will serve the primary objective of public service, the judge must approve the charter and issue an order incorporating the applicant under the charter for the objectives and purposes specified in the charter. The charter and order of incorporation must be recorded in the office of the clerk of the circuit court in the county where the principal office of the association will be located and provided to the department. After the order is recorded, the applicant and any associates are incorporated with the objectives and powers established in the charter and under the name given in the charter. This section does not preclude a fair association from also filing its duly approved charter with the Department of State pursuant to chapter 617 for notice purposes.
