38-8-99. Ordinances and regulations terminated on dissolution of district--Division substituted as party to contracts--Liens and pending actions. Upon issuance of a certificate of dissolution under the provisions of this chapter, all ordinances and regulations theretofore adopted and in force within the conservation district shall be of no further force and effect. All contracts theretofore entered into, to which the district or supervisors are parties, shall remain in force and effect for the period provided in such contracts. The Division of Resource Conservation and Forestry shall be substituted for the district or supervisors as party to such contracts. The division shall be entitled to all benefits and subject to all liabilities under such contracts and shall have the same right and liability to perform, to require performance, to sue and to be sued thereon, and to modify or terminate such contracts by mutual consent or otherwise, as the supervisors of the district would have had. Such dissolution shall not affect the lien of any judgment entered under the provisions of this chapter, nor the pendency of any action instituted under the provisions of such chapter, and the division shall succeed to all the rights and obligations of the district or supervisors as to such liens and actions.
