(a) The area of operation of a regional housing authority shall be increased from time to time to include one or more additional contiguous counties not already within the area of operation of a regional housing authority if the governing body of each of the counties then included in the area of operation of such regional housing authority, the commissioners of the regional housing authority, and the governing body of each such additional county or counties each adopt a resolution declaring that there is a need for the inclusion of such additional county or counties in the area of operation of such regional housing authority. Upon the adoption of such resolution, the county housing authority created for each such additional county shall cease to exist except for the purpose of winding up its affairs and executing a deed to the regional housing authority as provided in Code Section 8-3-112 . (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code section, such resolutions shall not be adopted if there is a county housing authority created for any such additional county which has any bonds or notes outstanding unless, first, all holders of such bonds and notes consent in writing to the substitution of such regional housing authority in lieu of such county housing authority as the obligor thereon and, second, the commissioners of such county housing authority adopt a resolution consenting to the transfer of all the rights, contracts, obligations, and property, real and personal, of such county housing authority to such regional housing authority as hereinafter provided. (c) When the above two conditions are complied with and the area of operation of such regional housing authority is increased to include such additional county, as provided in this Code section, all rights, contracts, agreements, obligations, and property, real and personal, of such county housing authority shall be in the name of and vest in such regional housing authority, all obligations of such county housing authority shall be the obligation of such regional housing authority, and all rights and remedies of any person against such county housing authority may be asserted, enforced, and prosecuted against such regional housing authority to the same extent as they might have been asserted, enforced, and prosecuted against such county housing authority.
