Text

5. (a) The legislative bodies of all
participating units in a territory may agree to change the provider unit
of the territory from one (1) participating unit to another participating
unit. To change the provider unit, the legislative body of each
participating unit must adopt an ordinance (in the case of a county or
municipality) or a resolution (in the case of a township or fire
protection district) that agrees to and specifies the new provider unit.
The provider unit may not be changed unless all participating units
agree on the participating unit that will become the new provider unit.
However, if the provider unit has adopted an ordinance or resolution
under section 13 of this chapter to withdraw from the territory, a
majority of the participating units that wish to remain in the territory
and do not withdraw in accordance with section 13 of this chapter must
agree on the participating unit that will become the new provider unit.
The participating units may not change the provider unit more than one
(1) time in any year.
(b) The following apply to an ordinance or a resolution adopted
under this section to change the provider unit of the territory:
(1) The ordinance or resolution must be adopted after January 1
but before July 1 of a year.
(2) The ordinance or resolution is effective January 1 of the year
following the year in which the ordinance or resolution is
adopted.
