BILL NUMBER:S1607

Title of bill

An act to amend the general municipal law, in relation to the process of annexation

Purpose or general idea of bill

Adds to the annexation process that government boards, supervisors, and/or mayors of two or more municipalities may use a joint publication and mailing for any notice required provided the publication agreed upon is one of general circulation in all such municipalities.

Summary of specific provisions

Section 1: Amends the general municipal law by adding a new section which permits governing boards, supervisors, and/or mayors of two or more municipalities to provide a joint publication of an annexation notice if the newspaper is generally circulated in all municipalities involved.

Section 2: Effective date.

Justification

The purpose of this bill is to permit municipalities to satisfy submission of public notice of an annexation jointly in one publication. The newspaper of publication must be one that is generally circulated in all such municipalities. This legislation is meant to alleviate the costs associated with publication of notice for local governments when there is one general newspaper accessible to all municipalities involved in an annexation.
