Mississippi HB781 requires elections on municipal annexations and contractions.
Mississippi HB781 amends the Mississippi Code to require elections on municipal annexations and contractions. The bill mandates that an ordinance proposing annexation must include details on improvements, services, and the timeline for these changes. Elections must be held in both the municipality and the proposed annexed territory, with approval requiring a majority vote in both. If fewer than a majority vote against the ordinance, it is approved. The bill also allows for a petition by 20% of qualified electors in the proposed annexed territory to trigger an election.
