Sponsor's memo
Title of bill
An act to amend the general municipal law, in relation to referrals of certain annexation petitions
Purpose
This legislation would require county planning departments to review specific annexation petitions pursuant to General Municipal Law (GML) 239, a process that already exists for many municipal planning and zoning actions.
Summary of provisions
Annexations that require county or county agency approval (a) to provide water or sewer service in the area to be annexed or (b) for the annexing municipality to provide water or sewer service in the area to be annexed will be subject to a county planning department review and all other relevant requirements pursuant to GML 239.
Justification
Annexations that have the potential to tremendously impact an entire region should be subjected to significant scrutiny and the affected county should be afforded appropriate oversight in annexation bids.
