 1-8     EXTRATERRITORIAL JURISDICTION.  (a)  Each municipality shall

 1-9     prepare a map that shows the  boundaries of the municipality and of

1-10     its extraterritorial jurisdiction.  A copy of the map shall be kept

1-11     in the office of the secretary or  clerk of the municipality.  If

1-12     the municipality has a municipal engineer, a copy of the map shall

1-13     also be kept in the office of the engineer.

1-14           (b)  If the municipality annexes territory, the map shall be

1-15     immediately corrected to include the annexed territory.  The map

1-16     shall be annotated to indicate:

1-17                 (1)  the date of annexation;

1-18                 (2)  the number of the annexation ordinance, if any;

1-19     and

1-20                 (3)  a reference to the minutes or municipal ordinance

1-21     records in which the ordinance is recorded in full.

1-22           (c)  If the municipality's extraterritorial jurisdiction is

1-23     expanded or reduced, the map shall be immediately corrected to

1-24     indicate the change in the municipality's extraterritorial

 2-1     jurisdiction.  The map shall be annotated to indicate:

 2-2                 (1)  the date the municipality's extraterritorial

 2-3     jurisdiction was changed;

 2-4                 (2)  the number of the ordinance or resolution, if any,

 2-5     by which the change was made; and

 2-6                 (3)  a reference to the minutes or municipal ordinance

 2-7     or resolution records in which the ordinance or resolution is

 2-8     recorded in full.

 2-9           SECTION 2.  This Act takes effect September 1, 1997.

2-10           SECTION 3.  The importance of this legislation and the

2-11     crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an

2-12     emergency and an imperative public necessity that the

2-13     constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several

2-14     days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended.
