Tenn. Code Ann. § 68-211-924: Dissolution of authority - Procedure - Allocation of assets

An authority may be dissolved by a resolution approved by all county and municipal governmental bodies participating in the organization of the authority. A resolution to dissolve the authority shall contain adequate provisions to divide the assets and liabilities of the authority among the participating county and municipal governments in an equitable manner if the authority has assets in excess of liabilities. In the event that the authority has liabilities in excess of assets, the resolution of dissolution shall provide for the allocation of assets of the authority among the creditors of the authority by agreement between the creditors of the authority and the board of directors of the authority. In the event that such an agreement cannot be reached within ninety (90) days after the approval of the resolution to dissolve the insolvent authority, then the board of directors of the authority shall petition the chancery court for an equitable allocation of assets. The chancery court shall hear the cause and shall enter a decree for the allocation of the assets of the authority among the authority's creditors. After the final disposition of the assets of the authority, the board of directors of the authority shall notify, in writing, the governing bodies of the participating governments, the secretary of state, and the department of environment and conservation of these actions, whereupon the board of directors and the authority shall cease to exist.
