1-18           (m)  A municipality that may annex a district for limited

1-19     purposes to implement a strategic partnership agreement under this

1-20     section shall not annex for full purposes any territory within a

1-21     district created pursuant to a consent agreement with that

1-23     annexation established by this subsection shall expire on September

1-28     crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an

1-29     emergency and an imperative public necessity that the

1-31     days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,

1-32     and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its

1-33     passage, and it is so enacted.
