This section shall apply only to changes of organization and reorganizations made by, or with respect to, a member district.

If a change of organization or a reorganization removing territory from a member district will result in the termination of any existing entitlement of the territory to receive, or be furnished with, any governmental or proprietary service or commodity from the parent district, the question submitted to the voters shall so indicate. (Added by Stats. 1985, Ch. 541, Sec. 3. Effective September 9, 1985. Operative January 1, 1986, by Sec. 5 of Ch. 541.)
