Such a joinder agreement continues in effect until the township withdraws from the joinder under section 1212 of this chapter.

(b) ADVISORY. If a county has not established a county plan commission or a metropolitan plan commission or adopted ordinances of the character set forth in subsection (a), a township may join with a municipality for planning and zoning purposes.
