(a) Whenever the governing body, by ordinance, shall declare that there is no longer a need for an authority to, and that the authority shall not further, function, thereafter the authority shall transact no further business and exercise no further powers, the offices shall be deemed vacated, and all funds and properties shall vest in the public agency. Any net earnings of an authority shall, pursuant to this section or Section 91542, inure solely to the benefit of the public agency and not to the benefit of any company or other private person. The ordinance shall be subject to referendum in the manner prescribed by law for ordinances of the public agency. The adoption of such an ordinance shall not preclude the subsequent adoption of an ordinance pursuant to Section 91520.
(b) The state may, by appropriate legislation at any time and at its sole discretion, alter or change, consistent with the other provisions of this title, the structure, organization, programs, or activities of authorities, including cause their dissolution. Any funds or properties, or net earnings, of an authority shall, upon dissolution, be disposed of as provided in subdivision (a).
