Bill > H26

This bill addresses several local government provisions across multiple North Carolina municipalities. First, it modifies an existing statute by adding "Madison" to a list of cities exempt from satellite annexation area restrictions. The bill then proceeds to remove (deannex) specific parcels of land from the corporate limits of several towns and cities, including Andrews, Elizabeth City, King, Four Oaks, Creedmoor, and Wilson, with each deannexation section specifying the exact property being removed and ensuring that existing tax liens remain valid. The most substantive portion of the bill is a comprehensive revision and consolidation of the Town of Davidson's charter, which updates the town's governance structure, including details about the mayor and board of commissioners, election procedures, terms of office, and administrative roles. For the Davidson town elections in 2025, the bill establishes a specific mechanism to stagger board member terms, with two members serving four-year terms and three serving two-year terms. The Davidson charter revision aims to preserve existing rights and legal continuity while modernizing the town's governmental framework. The bill becomes effective either immediately or on June 30, 2025, depending on the specific section.
