The general assembly declares that this article is necessary by reason of general economic conditions now prevailing in the agricultural sections of this state. Said conditions make it impossible for the owners of land in many such districts to pay the general and special taxes and assessments levied against their property. As a result thereof the delinquencies seriously affect the ability of counties and other governmental agencies in which such districts are located to obtain the revenue necessary to conduct governmental functions. The relief afforded to such districts by this article is urgently necessary in order to permit the performance of local governmental functions of the state in those sections thereof in which such districts are located.
