§ 35784 District Funds Division Rules

If the county committee orders the territory of a lapsed district annexed to more than one adjoining district, it may provide for such a division of the funds, property, and obligations of the lapsed district as it deems most equitable in the circumstances. If no division is provided for by the committee, the general provisions of Article 7 (commencing with Section 35560) of Chapter 3 shall apply to the division of funds, property, and obligations of the lapsed district. (Added by Stats. 1980, Ch. 1192, Sec. 3.)
