AI Summary
This bill modifies Oregon law regarding district annexations by simplifying the process for adding parcels of land to a district. Specifically, the bill allows multiple parcels of land to be included in a single annexation petition for the same district, and removes the requirement for a public hearing if the petition is signed by a majority of the electors living on the land to be annexed. The bill streamlines the existing annexation process by reducing administrative steps: petitioners can now file an annexation petition with the county board after obtaining approval from the district's board, and when determining whether to approve the petition, the county board will consider the local comprehensive plan and any existing service agreements. The key changes make the annexation process more flexible and potentially faster by eliminating mandatory public hearings when there is clear support from the local residents. This could help landowners more easily join special districts that provide services like water, fire protection, or parks and recreation.
