F.S. 582.31

582.31 Certification of results of referendum; dissolution.—Upon receipt from the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services of a certification that the department has determined that the continued operation of the district is not administratively practicable and feasible, pursuant to the provisions of this chapter, the supervisors shall forthwith proceed to terminate the affairs of the district. The supervisors shall dispose of all property belonging to the district at public auction and shall pay over the proceeds of such sale to be converted into the State Treasury, which amount shall be placed to the credit of the district for the purpose of liquidating any legal obligations the district may have at the time of its discontinuance. The supervisors shall thereupon file an application, duly verified, with the Department of State for the discontinuance of the district, and shall transmit with such application the certificate of the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services setting forth the determination of the department that the continued operation of the district is not administratively practicable and feasible. The application shall recite that the property of the district has been disposed of and the proceeds paid over as in this section provided, and shall set forth a full accounting of such properties and proceeds of the sale. The Department of State shall issue to the supervisors a certificate of dissolution and shall record such certificate in an appropriate book of record in its office.

UNITED STATES v. B. NELSON M., 101 F.3d 1284 (8th Cir. 1996)

. . . . § 582.31 (1996) bars the government from bringing suit against them on the notes. . . . Russell, 535 N.W.2d 803, 806-07 (Minn.1995) (applying Minn.Stat. § 582.31). . . . As a result, according to the Nelsons, the United States is now barred by § 582.31 from suing the Nelsons . . . Accordingly, § 582.31—which applies only to foreclosures—does not bar the government from now suing on . . . Because § 582.31 plainly applies only to foreclosures, we reject the Nelsons’ proffered interpretation . . .
