251.255. Notwithstanding the provisions of section 70.600, RSMo, to the contrary, a regional planning commission shall be considered a political subdivision for the purposes of sections 70.600 to 70.755, RSMo, and employees of a regional planning commission shall be eligible for membership in the Missouri local government employees' retirement system upon the regional planning commission becoming an "employer" as defined in subdivision (11) of section 70.600, RSMo.
251.440. Upon receipt of certified copies of resolutions recommending the dissolution of a regional planning commission adopted by the governing bodies of a majority of the local units in the region, including the county commission of any county, part or all of which is within the region, and upon a finding that all outstanding indebtedness of the regional planning commission has been paid, including monies owed to any retirement plan or system in which the commission participates and has pledged to pay for the unfunded accrued liability of its past and current employees, and all unexpended funds returned to the local units which supplied them, or that adequate provision has been made therefor, the governor shall issue a certificate of dissolution of the commission which shall thereupon cease to exist.
