etc. - Revenue bonds - Actions and judicial proceedings - Continuation of proceedings. A. All orders, determinations, rules, regulations, permits, certificates, licenses, contracts, rates and privileges which have been issued, made, granted or allowed to become effective by a statutory entity abolished by this act or by any provision of law affected by this act, shall continue in effect according to their terms until terminated or modified by operation of law. B. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this act any revenue bonds heretofore or hereafter issued or sold by a statutory entity shall remain in full force and effect, and no such statutory entity shall be terminated under the terms of this act until such outstanding revenue bonded indebtedness has been satisfied. C. No suit, action or other judicial proceeding lawfully commenced by or against any officer or agency in his or its official capacity, or in relation to the exercise of his or its official functions, shall abate by reason of the taking effect of any provision of this act, but the court, unless it determines that the survival of such suit, action or other proceedings is not necessary for purposes of settlement of the questions involved, shall allow the same to be maintained, with such substitutions as to parties as are appropriate. D. No administrative action or any judicial proceeding lawfully commenced shall abate solely by reason of the taking effect of any provision of this act. Any such cause of action pending on the date the entity is terminated or that is commenced during the termination period shall be prosecuted or defended in the name of the state by the Attorney General if it would have been his duty to so prosecute or defend had the statutory entity been recreated.
