AI Summary
- Amends the charter of the City of Norcross, Georgia to expand its corporate limits by annexing two tracts of land in Gwinnett County: Tract A (approximately 0.983 acres in land lot 244) and Tract B (a larger area spanning multiple land lots in the 6th land district, bounded by Jimmy Carter Boulevard, Buford Highway, Interstate I-85, and the existing city limits of Peachtree Corners and DeKalb County)
- Requires two separate referenda to be held during the November 2020 general election — one among electors in the territory to be annexed and one among existing City of Norcross electors — with both requiring majority approval for the annexation to take effect
- Annexation becomes effective January 1, 2021, only if more than one-half of the votes cast in both referenda approve; rejection by either group or failure to hold either election triggers automatic repeal on that same date
- Election expenses for both referenda are to be borne by the City of Norcross, with results certified to the Secretary of State
- Redesignates existing subsection (h) of Section 1.12 of the Norcross charter as subsection (h.1) and adds the new annexed territory under a new subsection (h.2)
