Bill > S216

This bill modifies North Carolina's municipal annexation law by adding the Town of Sharpsburg to a specific list of municipalities that are exempt from a standard satellite annexation restriction. Currently, state law limits satellite annexations to no more than 10% of a city's primary corporate limits. However, the bill specifically adds Sharpsburg to an existing list of cities and towns that are not subject to this percentage cap, effectively allowing the Town of Sharpsburg to conduct satellite annexations without being constrained by the 10% limitation. By amending G.S. 160A-58.1, the bill provides Sharpsburg with greater flexibility in expanding its municipal boundaries through non-contiguous annexations. The legislation becomes effective immediately upon becoming law, which means the change will take effect as soon as it is signed by the appropriate governmental authority.
