AI Summary

  • Expands the definition of "enclave" to include unincorporated areas enclosed by at least two municipalities where one provides first-responder services, and areas where at least 75 percent is bounded on three or more sides by one municipality providing first-responder services.

  • Prohibits annexation of areas where more than 70 percent of land is owned by non-elector individuals, corporations, or entities unless owners of more than 50 percent of the land consent to annexation.

  • Eliminates the requirement for a referendum when an area proposed for annexation has fewer than 25 registered electors who do not own property in the area, instead requiring consent from owners of more than 50 percent of parcels.

  • Allows municipalities to annex unincorporated property they own that is contiguous to their border or separated by natural or manmade barriers by adopting a resolution instead of requiring property owner petitions.

  • When multiple municipalities provide services to an enclave, any of those municipalities may annex portions of the enclave provided the entire enclave is annexed by one or more eligible municipalities.
