AI Summary

  • Removes the two-year waiting period restriction that previously limited municipalities to only one minor boundary adjustment annexation within any two-year period
  • Retains existing size limitations: minor boundary adjustments cannot exceed 105% of the existing total municipal boundary or 120% of the current municipal area
  • Municipalities must still obtain county commission approval and consent from affected businesses, residents, and freeholders in the territory to be annexed
  • A two-year restriction remains only for reapplying after a denial—municipalities cannot submit another application for the same territory for two years after a county commission denies their request
