Summary

The bill creates a formal method for a special district to be dissolved when both its governing board and a receiving local government vote in favor. All property, personnel, contracts, and liabilities are moved to the receiving unit, which must prove it can continue the district’s services. This streamlines the end‑of‑life process for special districts and clarifies who assumes responsibility.
