At any time when the incorporators named in this article determine that the services provided by the authority are no longer of benefit to the entities served by the authority and that all obligations of the authority have been paid in full, the authority may be dissolved upon the filing with the Secretary of State of a written statement for dissolution, which shall be subscribed by each of the incorporators of the authority and which shall be sworn to by each such incorporator before an officer authorized to take acknowledgements to deeds. Upon the filing of said written statement for dissolution, the authority shall cease and any property or other asset owned by it at the time of dissolution shall pass to the State of Alabama exclusively for purposes of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Secretary of State shall file and record the written statement for dissolution in an appropriate book of record in his or her office and shall make and issue, under the Great Seal of the State, a certificate that the authority is dissolved, and shall record the said certificate with the written statement for dissolution.
