This section as it existed prior to January 1, 1997, does not impermissibly authorize the transfer of property purchased solely with county funds from the county for the benefit of others outside that county; violate Neb. Const. art. VIII, sec. 1A, which prohibits the State from levying a property tax for state purposes; nor violate the county's due process rights under U.S. Const. amends. V and XIV and Neb. Const. art. I, sec. 3. Rock Cty. v. Spire, 235 Neb. 434, 455 N.W.2d 763 (1990).
Under prior law, a county's refusal to return retirement plan contributions made by the county on behalf of transferred employees is not a loss of benefits in violation of this section. Bamesberger v. Albert, 227 Neb. 782, 420 N.W.2d 289 (1988).
