8-3-116. Detachment of county by its own resolution; effect.

Notwithstanding Code Sections 8-3-114 and 8-3-115, the governing body of any county may by resolution detach the county from the area of operation of its regional housing authority if such housing authority has undertaken no housing projects and, upon the adoption of such resolution, the county shall cease to be included in the area of operation of the regional housing authority, provided that this action may not be taken if the regional housing authority has outstanding any bonds, notes, or other obligations, unless all the holders of such bonds, notes, or other obligations consent in writing to such action.#

The housing authority thereafter established for any county detached from the area of operation of a regional housing authority may assume and pay all or any portion of the outstanding bonds, notes, or other obligations of such regional housing authority, provided that the exclusion of any county from the area of operation of the regional housing authority and the failure of the housing authority of such county to assume all or any part of such bonds, notes, or other obligations shall not in any way affect the said bonds, notes, or other obligations nor the rights or remedies of the obligees of such regional housing authority with respect thereto.#
