Halt certain annexation types upon objection of a township

Summary

HB 829 changes Ohio law so that a township can block an expedited municipal annexation. It creates a petition and notice process, forces the municipality to outline services and zoning buffers, and gives the board of county commissioners authority to deny the annexation if any township objects. The measure aims to give townships more control over boundary changes that affect their land and residents.
