11102913DBe it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That § 15.2-6319 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:
§ 15.2-6319. Dissolution of authority.
Whenever the commission of the authority by resolution determines that the purposes for which the authority was formed have been substantially complied with and all bonds issued and all obligations incurred by the authority have been fully paid, the commission shall execute and file for record with the governing body or bodies of the locality in which the authority was created, a resolution declaring such facts. If the governing bodies are of the opinion that the facts stated in the authority's resolution are true and the authority should be dissolved, they shall so resolve; however, in the case of an authority created by proclamation of the Governor pursuant to § 15.2-6302, the authority shall not be dissolved unless or until the Governor, upon receipt of the duly certified resolution of each governing body of each locality within the area of operation of the authority requesting dissolution, shall proclaim that the authority is dissolved. Any such authority for which such a proclamation was issued shall be dissolved as of the date on which the proclamation was issued. In the case of authorities created by proclamation of the Governor, the Governor may dissolve such authority if, in his opinion, (i) the purposes for which the authority was formed have been substantially complied with and (ii) all bonds issued and all obligations incurred by the authority have been fully paid as verified by the Auditor of Public Accounts. In the case where the Governor desires to dissolve an authority created by proclamation of the Governor and such authority has unpaid bonds or obligations, the locality with which the authority resides must agree to assume those bonds or other obligations, or in the case where more than one locality is served by the authority, those localities served by the authority must all agree to assume those bonds or other obligations equitably among themselves before dissolution of the authority shall be granted by the Governor. Upon dissolution, the title to all funds and properties owned by the authority at the time of such dissolution shall vest, (i) in the case of authorities created by proclamation of the Governor, in the localities in the area of operation or to not-for-profit agencies, public or private, as may be designated by the localities, or (ii) in the case of authorities created by the City of Hampton pursuant to § 15.2-6302, in such locality or to not-for-profit agencies, public or private, as may be designated by such locality.
