What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill changes certain annexation notice requirements and also changes the

responsibility to receive, file, and distribute certain documents from the secretary of

state to the secretary of administration. In general, the bill also reduces the number

of copies of some of these documents that must be filed or distributed from 7, 6, 4, or

2 copies to one copy.

Under current law, annexations in a county with a population of 50,000 or more

are not valid unless the person publishing the notice of annexation mails a copy of

the notice to various units of government and the Department of Administration.

Under the bill, the population requirement is deleted so the notice requirement

applies to all annexations.
