HB 945 Annexation; extends current moratorium on city annexations and county immunity actions.
Introduced by: Tony O. Wilt | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)
Annexation. Extends the current moratorium on city annexations and county immunity actions by six years to 2024. Provisions that would trigger the early expiration of the moratorium if the General Assembly fails to appropriate certain amounts for local law-enforcement expenditures are exempted through the 2022-2024 biennium. The Commission on Local Government is directed to evaluate the structure of cities and counties in the Commonwealth and the impact of annexation upon localities. In doing so, the Commission shall consider alternatives to the current moratorium on annexation by cities. The Commission shall issue its findings and recommended policy changes to the General Assembly no later than December 1, 2018. This bill is identical to SB 309.
