Sections 41–49 of this title shall remain in force and effect for not less than five years after its enactment and for successive periods of five years thereafter, except as amended. At the end of the first five-year period, or any successive five-year period, the Legislature may take under consideration whether the continued operation of the district within the defined boundaries is administratively practicable and feasible.
