House Date Signed by Governor
Summary
The bill requires a special election in November 2026 for voters in Quitman and the unincorporated parts of Brooks County to decide whether to consolidate the two governments. If a majority in both areas vote yes, a nine‑member commission will be created to guide the unification and all of Quitman’s legal rights, privileges, assets, permits, and obligations will be transferred to Brooks County. It also establishes a special tax and service district to handle existing bonded debt and expressly leaves nearby towns out of the merger.
