19-3821. Industrial districts organized prior to July 1, 1971, shall not be required to conform to the 1971 amendments to article 38 of chapter 19 of the Kansas Statutes Annotated as contained in this act*, but any industrial district heretofore organized under the act of which this act is amendatory and supplemental may elect to conform and become subject to the additional provisions herewith enacted by submitting a petition in writing to the board of county commissioners of the county in which this district is located requesting that the declarations, determinations, findings and order of said board relating to such district be amended and supplemented to conform to the 1971 amendments. Such a petition shall include the following:
(1) A description of the territory included in such industrial district by sections or subdivisions of sections according to the government survey, or by metes and bounds;
(2) a statement that all of the privately owned land is and will continue to be exclusively used for industrial establishments and special facilities to serve industry in an industrial community for the location of plants, factories or warehouses to manufacture, warehouse or distribute the products of agriculture or industry, and that no residential use is presently being made of said land and none will be made thereof as long as said industrial district is in existence and said land is included in it;
(3) a prayer that all previously entered declarations, determinations, findings, decisions and orders of such board of county commissioners relating to such industrial district be amended and supplemented so as to conform to the requirements and provisions of the 1971 amendments;
(4) a statement that the petitioners constitute all of the owners, corporate or otherwise, of real estate in the district, and all of the lessees, corporate or otherwise, of real estate in the district;
(5) such petition shall be executed by or on behalf of all of the persons, corporate or otherwise, who are required to be named therein as petitioners.
Upon the filing of such petition, the board of county commissioners shall fix forthwith a time and place for the hearing of such petition. At the time of such hearing it shall be the duty of the board of county commissioners to hear all evidence with respect to whether or not such petition contains the proper number of signers prescribed by this act and whether the statements in said petition are true; and if upon such hearing it shall be found and determined that such petition is sufficient under the statutory requirements, as amended, then such board of county commissioners shall make a finding and decision approving the application, and if such application is approved, shall thereupon cause an entry to be made upon its records showing all of its declarations, findings, decisions, and orders made pursuant to this section, which entry shall set forth the limits of such industrial district. Such entry shall also recite in haec verba the statements as to the restrictions on use of the lands included in the industrial district which are contained in the petition approved by the board of county commissioners, and shall declare, all in reasonable detail, that all previously entered declarations, determinations, findings, decisions and orders of such board of county commissioners relating to such industrial district are amended and supplemented so as to conform to the requirements and provisions of this industrial district act, as amended. All declarations, determinations, findings, decisions and orders of such board of county commissioners so entered of record shall have the same effect as in the case of orders approving original petitions for incorporation of such industrial districts. A copy of such findings, decisions and orders shall be filed for record with the register of deeds of the county in which such industrial district is located and a copy thereof shall also be filed in the office of the secretary of state of the state of Kansas. Thereupon the board of directors of such industrial district shall promptly amend and supplement the bylaws, rules and regulations of such industrial district in the manner provided by law so as to conform the same to the requirements and provisions hereof and of the findings, decisions and orders of the board of county commissioners entered of record as herein provided.
No industrial district organized and incorporated prior to the effective date of this act shall issue any general obligation bonds under K.S.A. 19-3815a unless and until such industrial district shall have first conformed to the provisions of the 1971 amendments in the manner herein prescribed. Nothing herein contained shall, however, be deemed or construed to invalidate or in any manner adversely affect any actions of such industrial districts prior to the effective date of this act.
