	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   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 1.  Section 101780 of the Health and Safety Code is amended
to read:
   101780.  (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.
