1. If a participating political subdivision in a department that consists of three or more participating political subdivisions wishes to withdraw from the department, the participating political subdivision must submit the question of whether the political subdivision should withdraw from the department to the registered voters of the political subdivision at a general election held pursuant to NRS 293.12755. The participating political subdivision shall give notice of its intent to withdraw to the other participating political subdivisions at least 6 months before that general election. If a majority of the voters approve the question, the effective date of the withdrawal is the commencement of the fiscal year immediately following the general election at which the question of withdrawal is approved. The ordinance that had been adopted by the withdrawing political subdivision providing for the merger is void on the effective date of the withdrawal.
2. If a department consists of:
(a) Two participating political subdivisions and one of the participating political subdivisions determines that it wishes to withdraw; or
(b) Three or more participating political subdivisions and all or all except one of the participating political subdivisions determine that they wish to withdraw,
the participating political subdivisions must each submit the question of whether the department should be dissolved to the registered voters within their jurisdiction at the next general election held pursuant to NRS 293.12755. If a majority of the total votes cast on the question are in favor of the dissolution of the department, the effective date of the dissolution is the commencement of the fiscal year immediately following the general election at which the question of dissolution is approved. The ordinances that had been adopted by the participating political subdivisions providing for the merger are void on the effective date of the dissolution.
