Bill > HB0510

This bill modifies the process for incorporating a preliminary municipality by establishing new requirements and procedures, including requiring applicants to consult with the county before filing a feasibility request, and outlining specific criteria for feasibility studies and petitions for incorporation. It also clarifies the roles and responsibilities of various parties, such as the lieutenant governor, county officials, feasibility consultants, and applicants, and introduces provisions for county audits of feasibility studies and potential third-party evaluations. Additionally, the bill adjusts the financial aspects of incorporation, such as the establishment of fees and the use of a special revenue fund, and sets deadlines for various stages of the incorporation process, while also defining key terms like "applicant," "certified feasibility request," and "population."
