This article 42 applies
only to irrigation districts organized after April 7, 1921, and no existing laws in any
manner relating to irrigation districts apply to or affect irrigation districts organized
after that date, but existing laws and all amendments thereto made after that date
remain in and have full force and effect as to all irrigation districts organized prior
to April 7, 1921. However, whenever landowners of a majority of the number of acres
of the irrigable land in any irrigation district organized prior to April 7, 1921, petition
the board of directors to call a special election for the purpose of submitting to the
landowners entitled to vote at elections of the irrigation district a proposition to
vote, at any regular or any special election called and notice given for such
purpose, upon the question whether the irrigation district shall thereafter operate
under this article 42, and if two-thirds of the landowners of the irrigation district
voting upon the question vote in favor of coming under this article 42, upon the
filing of a statement of the results of the election in the manner provided by section
37-41-112, the irrigation district is thereafter governed by this article 42. The
election of the district to come under this article 42 does not invalidate any act or
proceeding previously done under the laws governing the irrigation district prior to
the election and does not impair any obligation of the irrigation district or any right
thereunder.
