Except as otherwise provided in this article, a rail district may be dissolved in a manner pursuant, as nearly as practicable, to the provisions of part 7 of article 1 of this title. Dissolution may be initiated by petitions signed by eligible electors in an amount equal to at least five percent of the total number of electors who cast votes within the rail district for all candidates for the office of secretary of state at the last preceding general election. No dissolution shall be effected unless approved by a majority of the eligible electors of the rail district voting thereon and unless satisfactory arrangements have been made for payment of any obligations or debts and for the continuation of any services essential for the health, welfare, and safety of residents of the rail district.
