Bill > H1068

This bill, titled "City of King Satellite Cap Removal," amends North Carolina General Statute (G.S.) 160A-58.1(b) to remove a restriction on how much land a city can annex as a "satellite corporate limit." Satellite annexation refers to a city's ability to annex areas that are not directly adjacent to its main boundaries. Previously, the total area of all satellite corporate limits for a city could not exceed ten percent (10%) of the area within its primary corporate limits. However, this bill adds the City of King to a list of municipalities that are exempt from this ten percent (10%) cap, meaning the City of King can now annex satellite areas without this size limitation. The bill becomes effective upon becoming law.
