§ 34248

(a) If a city or county which enters into an agreement pursuant to Section 34246 has previously established a housing authority, the powers and duties of such authority shall be vested in the area housing authority upon the appointment of all required commissioners to the area authority.

(b) Upon such transfer of powers and duties, the title to any property owned or held by, or in trust for the city or county authority, and any debts, demands, liabilities or obligations existing in favor or against such authority, and any proceedings of such authority, shall become those of the area housing authority, and any and all such titles, debts, demands, liabilities, obligations, and proceedings shall have the same validity, force and effect as if acquired, incurred, accrued, or taken by the area housing authority.

(c) Any such transfer of powers and duties shall not affect or impair the status or rights of any duly appointed employees of the city or county authority, and such status and rights shall have the same validity, force, and effect as if attained during employment with the area housing authority.
