• Modifies articles of incorporation requirements to reference incorporation publication under sections 207(1) and 256(1) instead of specifying a particular newspaper.

• Establishes two-tiered publication approach: before January 1, 2015, articles must be published once in a designated newspaper; beginning January 1, 2015, articles must be published using "tier B public notice with a link" under the local government public notice act.

• Clarifies that articles of incorporation must include a reference to where the county or city/village clerk is publishing or posting the articles rather than specifying publication location.
