§ 22-29-302 — Merger of districts; effect

(a) A district may merge with another district even if
formed under different principal acts, if the merger is first
approved by the county commissioners and approved by the voters
of each district. The districts included in the merger shall be
considered joined to and absorbed into the surviving district.

(i) The surviving district shall succeed to all the
property, contracts, rights and powers of the merging districts,
and shall constitute and be a regularly organized district as if
originally organized in the manner provided by the principal
act;
(ii) Uncollected taxes, assessments or charges levied
by the merging districts shall become the property of the
surviving district and upon collection shall be credited to the
account of the surviving district; and
(iii) The surviving district shall become liable for
all the obligations, legal and contractual, of the merging
districts.
