Upon the acceptance for filing of such certificate of incorporation or amendment, as the case may be, such corporation shall qualify as and be a railroad redevelopment corporation hereunder, and shall continue as such for twelve years thereafter or until the earlier termination of its qualification pursuant to section three hundred eleven; provided, however, that the secretary of state shall not accept any such certificate of incorporation or amendment for filing unless it shall be accompanied by a certificate of approval of such qualification executed by the commissioner of transportation and by a certified copy of an order of the bankruptcy court dismissing the pending proceedings in which such corporation is a debtor, subject to such terms and conditions as the court may fix in connection with winding up the proceedings. In the event another state agency shall be authorized by law to execute a certificate of approval for any railroad corporation, the certificate of approval for any such corporation shall also be executed by such agency.
