AI Summary
This bill, titled the Dissolution of Special Districts Act, establishes a new process for special districts, which are local government entities created for a specific purpose, to be dissolved. Under this act, a special district can be dissolved if both its own governing body (which includes entities like boards or county boards) and the governing body of another local government unit that will take over its responsibilities, known as the "receiving unit of local government," vote in favor of the dissolution. Before the dissolution occurs, the receiving unit of local government must submit a service continuation plan to prove it has the necessary resources to continue providing the services the dissolving special district offered. On the date of dissolution, all of the dissolving special district's property, personnel, contracts, and debts will be transferred to the receiving unit of local government, which will then assume all of its rights and duties. This method of dissolution is in addition to any other existing legal ways to dissolve such districts.
