The updated bill includes a new provision that allows counties to maintain or vacate streets and alleys in cities that have been dissolved, specifically if those cities are located in unorganized townships. Additionally, the amendment clarifies the responsibilities of the county commissioners regarding the management of properties belonging to dissolved cities.
