YCT Yea. This bill would make three major changes to the ways municipalities make annexations. 1) Reduce the voluntary annexation process from 90 to 14 days provided there is a landowner agreement. 2) Eliminate limited purpose annexation. 3) Create a process by which city initiated annexation could be vetted by property owners. YCT supports this legislation protecting private property owners.
