(a) Any other law notwithstanding in this state, from and after the passage of this act, the county court of each county of the State of Arkansas shall have the right to sell or lease any county-owned hospital, where there is no outstanding bonded indebtedness, upon such terms and conditions as the court may deem advisable for the best interests of the county, to any municipality located within the county. (b) (1) Before any such sale or lease shall be entered into, the proposition shall be submitted to the county quorum court for approval or rejection. (2) If a majority of the county quorum court voting thereon approves it, then the county court is authorized to execute other instruments that may be necessary to facilitate the sale or lease. (c) Each sale or lease shall recite in the instrument of conveyance that should the municipality that has been granted the sale or lease of the county-owned hospital have any reason to discontinue to use it for hospital or nursing home purposes, then, in that event, the property shall revert back to the county, and title to the hospital shall be revested in the county.
