Summary

The bill repeals the old annexation statute and creates a new section that tells cities, towns and villages how they can annex nearby unincorporated areas. It defines what counts as “contiguous and compact,” adds special rules for highways, correctional centers and airports, and outlines a petition‑hearing process with a chance for voter objections. The changes aim to clarify annexation limits and streamline the process.
