On receiving the request and after a period of at least 30 days, the Government may issue supplementary letters patent changing the name of the municipality.
Such change of name does not affect the rights or responsibilities of the municipality or of any other person, and comes into force after publication of a notice signed by the mayor and the secretary-treasurer, reciting the letters patent ordering the change of name.
