AB 2117, Achadjian. Santa Barbara San Luis Obispo Regional Health Authority.
Existing law authorizes the Board of Supervisors of the County of Santa Barbara to order the formation of a health authority and authorizes the Board of Supervisors of the County of San Luis Obispo to authorize the provision of medical services by the authority within the County of San Luis Obispo. Existing law authorizes the Board of Supervisors of either the County of San Luis Obispo or the County of Santa Barbara, or the board of directors of the authority, to terminate the authority’s operation of a health care system or systems in the County of San Luis Obispo, as specified. Existing law authorizes the Board of Supervisors of the County of Santa Barbara to order the dissolution of the authority by declaring that there is no need for the authority to function in the county.
This bill would instead authorize the boards of supervisors of the County of Santa Barbara and the County of San Luis Obispo to order the dissolution of the authority, and would require both boards of supervisors to order the dissolution of the authority in order for the dissolution to become effective.
The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
Section 101780 of the Health and Safety Code is amended to read:
(a) The boards of supervisors of the County of Santa Barbara and the County of San Luis Obispo may, by ordinance or resolution, order the dissolution of the authority by declaring that there is no need for the authority to function in the counties. Both boards of supervisors shall order the dissolution of the authority pursuant to this subdivision in order for the dissolution to become effective. The dissolution shall become effective 180 days after the date of the later adopted resolution or ordinance ordering the dissolution.
(b) As of the effective date of the dissolution of the authority, the authority shall be dissolved, disincorporated and extinguished; its existence shall be terminated and all of its corporate powers shall cease, except for winding up the affairs of the authority.
(c) For the purpose of winding up the affairs of the dissolved authority, the County of Santa Barbara shall be the successor.
(d) Upon the effective date of dissolution, control over all of the moneys or funds, including those on hand, and those due, but uncollected, and all property, real or personal, of the authority shall be vested in the County of Santa Barbara for the purpose of winding up the affairs of the authority.
(e) The powers of the county in winding up the affairs of the authority and the distribution of assets of the authority, shall be in accordance with Chapter 6 (commencing with Section 57450) of Part 5 of Division 3 of Title 5 of the Government Code. The liability of the County of Santa Barbara as successor shall be limited to the assets of the authority.
