(a)When any territory has been transferred from a district under this Act and the court order providing for the transfer also sets forth a continuing liability to be paid and retired by property owners of the transferred territory, the county collector of the county involved shall debit upon his or her books the taxes to be paid and thereafter levied by the district and extended against taxable property within the transferred territory. The county clerk shall continue to extend district library taxes upon the taxable property within transferred territory, and the county collector shall continue to collect district library taxes upon the taxable property within the transferred territory, until the excess liability has been paid and retired.

(b)Until full and final payment of the liability, the residents and property owners of the transferred territory shall be entitled to full and free library service from the district. Upon full and final payment of the liability, the residents and property owners of the transferred territory shall no longer be subject to any tax levies by the district, nor shall they thereafter have any right, title, or interest in and to the assets and tangible property of the district affected by the transfer.
