AN ACT Relating to

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF
WASHINGTON:
Sec. 1. RCW 52.06.050 and 1947 c
254 s 16 are each amended to read as follows:
The board
of the merging district shall notify the board of the merger district of the
results of the election. If ((three-fifths)) a majority of the
votes cast at the election favor the merger, the respective district boards
shall adopt concurrent resolutions, declaring the districts merged, under the
name of the merger district. Thereupon the districts are merged into one
district, under the name of the merger district; the merging district is
dissolved without further proceedings; and the boundaries of the merger
district are thereby extended to include all the area of the merging district.
Thereafter the legal existence cannot be questioned by any person by reason of
any defect in the proceedings had for the merger.
