Bill > H26

This bill addresses several local government provisions in North Carolina, including deannexations of specific properties from multiple municipalities and a comprehensive charter revision for the Town of Davidson. The first part amends a statute related to satellite corporate limits by adding "Madison" to a list of municipalities exempt from certain annexation restrictions. Subsequent sections remove specified parcels of land from the corporate limits of Andrews, Elizabeth City, King, Four Oaks, Creedmoor, and Wilson, with each deannexation ensuring that existing tax liens remain valid and specifying a June 30, 2025 effective date for tax purposes. The most substantive portion of the bill is a complete consolidation and revision of the Town of Davidson's charter, which comprehensively updates the town's governmental structure, including details about municipal elections, the composition of the Board of Commissioners, terms of office, and administrative roles. The Davidson charter revision establishes a council-manager form of government, provides for staggered four-year terms for Board members, and clarifies the roles of the Mayor, Town Manager, and other municipal officials. The bill also includes provisions to preserve existing rights and obligations and repeals several older acts related to the Town of Davidson's governance.
