RS 33:4054
§4054. Effect of consolidation on rights of bond holders; assumption of indebtedness; consolidation of districts existing prior to August 1, 1956; purposes of consolidated district
The creation of any consolidated sewerage district under this Sub-part shall not affect or impair in any manner contract rights enjoyed by the holders of any outstanding bonds of the underlying districts and to the extent required by such contract rights, taxes, special assessments and service charges on the property subject to the payment of principal of and interest on such bonds shall continue to be levied as above provided, provided, however, that any consolidated sewerage district may assume all indebtedness of its underlying districts in the manner and with the effect provided by R.S. 39:661, et seq. for the assumption of indebtedness by parishes.
In the event indebtedness is so assumed, taxes for the payment thereof shall be levied by the governing authority on all taxable property in the consolidated district. Where the sewerage districts consolidated into any consolidated district under this Sub-part have been in existence prior to August 1, 1956, the creation of the consolidated district will be solely for the purpose of continuing the sewer improvement programs for which the districts so consolidated were originally created and the provisions of R.S. 39:253 shall be regarded as applicable in all respects to all taxes levied by any such consolidated district and such district shall be considered to be a district created prior to August 1, 1956, for all purposes of said section.
For the purpose of this Sub-part, any sewerage district which may have been theretofore created in any parish and which does not at the time of consolidation have outstanding any indebtedness or unexpired special taxes may be considered by the governing authority to be an existing district for purposes of consolidation or such district may be abolished by the governing authority and the territory therein contained regarded as unorganized territory for sewerage purposes.
Added by Acts 1958, No. 276, §1, pars. 5, 6.
NOTE: Former R.S. 39:253 was repealed by Act No. 10 of the 1972 Extraordinary Session.
