(b) The certificate of incorporation of a specially chartered corporation may be amended by its board of directors or members entitled to vote thereon for the purposes and in the manner provided by sections 33-1000 to 33-1290, inclusive, for corporations incorporated under said sections except that its certificate of incorporation as so amended shall not authorize it to conduct any affairs or to conduct its affairs in any area unless either (1) it could be so authorized under section 33-1035 or (2) it was so authorized by its certificate of incorporation prior to such amendment. A specially chartered corporation the name of which does not contain the words “corporation” or “company” or “incorporated” or an abbreviation of one of such words may amend its certificate of incorporation pursuant to this subsection without changing its name.
