23580. Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, consolidation does not affect any debts, demands, liabilities, or obligations of any kind existing in favor of or against the counties consolidated, at the time of consolidation. Consolidation does not affect any pending action or proceeding involving any such debt, demand, liability or obligation, or any action or proceeding brought by or against any county prior to consolidation. All such proceedings shall be continued and concluded, by final judgment or otherwise, as if consolidation had not been effected. All such rights or liabilities become the rights or liabilities of the consolidated county.
