Connecticut General Statutes 7-233n – Dissolution of cooperative
The governing bodies of two or more municipal electric utilities which have created a municipal electric energy cooperative pursuant to § 7-233c may, by concurrent resolutions duly adopted by each of such governing bodies within any single calendar year, dissolve such municipal electric energy cooperative on the conditions set forth in this section. Such municipal electric energy cooperative may be dissolved on condition that either the representatives of the municipal electric energy cooperative by resolution duly adopted consent to such dissolution and the municipal electric energy cooperative has no debts or obligations outstanding or that sufficient moneys have been set aside irrevocably in trust to satisfy all of the outstanding debts or obligations of such municipal electric energy cooperative. A copy of each concurrent resolution for the dissolution of a municipal electric energy cooperative adopted pursuant to this section, duly certified by the appropriate officer of the municipal electric utility, shall be filed in the office of the Secretary of the State. Upon proof of such filing of certified copies of the concurrent resolutions for the dissolution of a municipal electric energy cooperative as aforesaid and upon proof either that such municipal electric energy cooperative had no debts or obligations outstanding at the time of the adoption of such resolutions, or that sufficient moneys have been set aside irrevocably in trust to satisfy all of its outstanding debts or obligations, the municipal electric energy cooperative therein referred to shall be conclusively deemed to have been lawfully and properly dissolved and the property of the municipal electric energy cooperative shall be vested in the creating municipal electric utilities or as otherwise provided in agreements between the municipal electric energy cooperative and the members of the municipal electric energy cooperative, provided any such agreements shall treat similarly situated members in a comparable and nondiscriminatory manner. A copy of any such concurrent resolution, duly certified by or on behalf of the Secretary of the State, shall be admissible in evidence in any suit, action, or proceeding, and shall be conclusive evidence of due and proper filing thereof as aforesaid.
