8-3-114. Exclusion of counties from regional authority -- Procedure generally; effect of reducing area of operation to one county

(a) The area of operation of a regional housing authority which has undertaken the development of one or more housing projects may be decreased from time to time to exclude one or more counties from such area if the governing body of each of the counties in such area and the commissioners of the regional housing authority each adopt a resolution declaring that there is a need for excluding such county or counties from such area, provided that this action may not be taken if the regional housing authority has outstanding any bonds or notes, unless all holders of such bonds and notes consent in writing to such action.

(b) If any action taken pursuant to subsection (a) of this Code section decreases the area of operation of the regional housing authority to only one county, such authority shall thereupon constitute and become a housing authority for such county in the same manner and with the same rights, powers, and immunities as though such authority were created by and authorized to transact business and exercise its powers pursuant to Code Sections 8-3-4 through 8-3-6; and the commissioners of such authority shall be thereupon appointed as provided in Code Section 8-3-50 for the appointment of commissioners of a housing authority created for a county.
