The bill also establishes exceptions for lands with implied consent, enclaved lands, and certain types of land like highways, fairgrounds, airports, recreational areas, railroad rights-of-way, and agricultural or forest lands. The bill provides for judicial review of city-initiated annexations and sets an effective date of July 1, 2024.
