 2   except in accordance with the procedures under
 3   sections 279.15 to 279.18 and section 279.24, to the
 4   extent those procedures are applicable, or under the
 5   terms of the base bargaining agreement.  The authority
 6   and responsibility to offer new contracts or to
 7   continue, modify, or terminate existing contracts
 8   pursuant to any applicable procedures under chapter
 9   279, shall be transferred to the acting, and then to
10   the new, board of the combined merged area upon
11   certification of a favorable vote to each of the
12   merged areas affected by the agreement.  The
13   collective bargaining agreement of the merged area
14   with the largest number of contact hours eligible for
15   receiving the greatest amount of general state
aid, as
16   defined under section 260D.2, shall serve as the base
17   agreement for the combined merged area and the
18   employees of the merged areas which combined to form
19   the new combined merged area shall automatically be
20   accreted to the bargaining unit from that former
21   merged area for purposes of negotiating the contracts
22   for the following years without further action by the
23   public employment relations board.  If only one
24   collective bargaining agreement is in effect among the
25   merged areas which are combining under this section,
26   then that agreement shall serve as the base agreement,
27   and the employees of the merged areas which are
28   combining to form the new combined merged area shall
29   automatically be accreted to the bargaining unit of
30   that former merged area for purposes of negotiating
31   the contracts for the following years without further
32   action by the public employment relations board.  The
33   board of the combined merged area, using the base
34   agreement as its existing contract, shall bargain with
35   the combined employees of the merged areas that have
36   agreed to combine for the academic year beginning with
37   the effective date of the agreement to combine merged
38   areas.  The bargaining shall be completed by March 15
39   prior to the academic year in which the agreement to
40   combine merged areas becomes effective or within one
41   hundred eighty days after the organization of the
42   acting board of the new combined merged area,
43   whichever is later.  If a bargaining agreement was
44   already concluded in the former merged area which has
45   the collective bargaining agreement that is serving as
46   the base agreement for the new combined merged area,
47   between the former merged area board and the employees
48   of the former merged area, that agreement is void,
49   unless the agreement contained multiyear provisions
