No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The petitioners and the municipality may enter into a development agreement prior to the annexation. The annexation would not expand the municipality's extraterritorial jurisdiction.

The bill would take effect immediately if it receives the required two-thirds vote in each house; otherwise, it would take effect September 1, 2005.

Local Government Impact

No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
