						<section><p>A member <span class="dictionary">locality</span> of an <span class="dictionary">authority</span> may withdraw from the <span class="dictionary">authority</span> only (i) upon dissolution of the <span class="dictionary">authority</span> as set forth herein, or (ii) with the majority approval of all other members of such <span class="dictionary">authority</span>, upon a resolution adopted by the <span class="dictionary">governing body</span> of a member <span class="dictionary">locality</span> and after satisfaction of such member <span class="dictionary">locality</span>&#x2019;s legal obligations, including repayment of its portion of any debt incurred, with regard to the <span class="dictionary">authority</span>, or after making contractual provisions for the repayment of its portion of any debt incurred, with regard to the <span class="dictionary">authority</span>, as well as pledging to pay general dues for operation of the <span class="dictionary">authority</span> for the current and succeeding fiscal year following the effective date of withdrawal. No member seeking withdrawal shall retain, without the consent of a majority of the remaining members, any rights to contributions made by such member, to any property held by such <span class="dictionary">authority</span> or to any revenue sharing as allowed by &#xA7;&#xA7;&#xA0;<a class="law" title="Donations to authority; remittance of tax revenue" href="/15.2-6406/">15.2-6406</a> and <a class="law" title="Revenue sharing agreements" href="/15.2-6407/">15.2-6407</a>. Upon withdrawal, the withdrawing member shall also return to the <span class="dictionary">authority</span> any dues or other contributions refunded to such member during its membership in the <span class="dictionary">authority</span>. Whenever the <span class="dictionary">board</span> determines that the purpose for which the <span class="dictionary">authority</span> was created has been substantially fulfilled or is impractical or impossible to accomplish and that all obligations incurred by the <span class="dictionary">authority</span> have been paid or that cash or a sufficient amount of United States government securities has been deposited for their payment, or provisions satisfactory for the timely payment of all its outstanding obligations have been arranged, the <span class="dictionary">board</span> may adopt resolutions declaring and <span class="dictionary">finding</span> that the <span class="dictionary">authority</span> shall be dissolved. Appropriate attested copies of such resolutions shall be delivered to the Governor so that legislation dissolving such <span class="dictionary">authority</span> may be introduced in the General Assembly. The dissolution of an <span class="dictionary">authority</span> shall become effective according to the terms of such legislation. The title to all funds and other property owned by such <span class="dictionary">authority</span> at the time of such dissolution shall vest in the <span class="dictionary">member localities</span> which have contributed to the <span class="dictionary">authority</span> in proportion to their respective contributions.</p></section></text><history>1997, cc. 276, 587, &#xA7; 15.1-1725; 2010, c. 531.</history><metadata></metadata></law>
