CA AB600

Clarifies that local agency formation commissions cannot approve city annexations of territory greater than 10 acres (or smaller per commission policy) if a contiguous disadvantaged unincorporated community exists, unless an application to annex that community has been filed.

Extends the disadvantaged community annexation requirement to multiple contiguous areas that individually total less than 10 acres but cumulatively exceed 10 acres when annexations occur within 5 years of each other.

Exempts the requirement to file a disadvantaged community annexation application if a prior application for the same community was filed within the preceding five years or if the commission finds that a majority of registered voters in the affected area oppose annexation.

Approved by Governor on October 8, 2019, amending Section 56375 of the Government Code.
