Township mergers.

Summary

The law sets criteria for townships whose borders and population are mostly within a city, and mandates that those townships be dissolved and their services, funds, and officials transferred to the city on Jan. 1 2029. It also limits county bodies from forcing townships into fire protection districts during reorganization negotiations and lets local governments formally accept or reject a merger. The changes apply to designated townships meeting the criteria and take effect upon passage, with some provisions retroactive to July 2025.
