AI Summary
- Municipalities initiating annexations must file a court petition signed by at least 60% of landowners or owners of more than 75% of assessed land value in the territory proposed for annexation
- Property owners who did not sign the annexation petition may intervene in court hearings if they appeared at the municipality's hearing or submitted a remonstrance into the record
- All municipalities may annex noncontiguous territory (within 2 miles of city boundaries) for industrial parks, shopping centers/malls, or economic development areas, expanding authority previously limited to specific counties
- Eliminates the existing remonstrance process that allowed courts to block annexations when 65% of landowners opposed and services were already adequately provided by other entities
- Removes provisions allowing municipalities to obtain waivers of landowners' rights to remonstrate against annexation as part of sewer service contracts
