of State shall then proceed as with municipal charter amendments under section 17 V.S.A. § 2645. No amendment shall be made that shall substantially impair the rights of the holders
of any bonds or other notes or other evidence of indebtedness or substantially affect
any obligations under long-term contracts of the District then outstanding or in effect,
or the rights of the District to procure the means for payment, continuation, or termination
thereof.
