What it does

_____ the explanation’s substance by the members of the general assembly. This bill relates to boundary adjustments between cities by petition of property owners. Under current law, a real property owner within the boundaries of a city may file a petition for severance with the city council if the property would then be eligible for annexation by a different city. If both of the cities approve the petition, the petition is then filed with the city development board (board). The board then initiates proceedings to sever the territory from the city in which the property is currently located and annex the property to the annexing city.
