Bill > HB226

This bill amends the City of Cochran's charter to expand its corporate limits by specifically including the right of way of State Route 23 (also known as U.S. Highway 87) from the city's current northern corporate boundary northward until its intersection with Jac Arts Road. By adding this new subsection to the city's charter, the legislation effectively extends the city's territorial jurisdiction to include this specific stretch of roadway. The bill uses standard legislative language to indicate that this new boundary description overrides any previous conflicting provisions in the city's existing charter. The purpose appears to be formally incorporating a section of state highway into the city's official geographic boundaries, which could have implications for municipal services, taxation, and governance of that area.
