Orderly annexation agreements limited to ten years, supremacy of orderly annexation agreements clarified to attempts to annex by nonparties, and grounds for annexation by ordinance narrowed.

This bill modifies Minnesota's annexation laws by limiting orderly annexation agreements to a maximum of ten years and clarifying that only parties to such agreements can annex the land covered by them. It also narrows the conditions under which municipalities can annex land through ordinances, restricting the process to specific scenarios like land owned by the municipality or areas completely surrounded by municipal limits. The changes aim to provide more structure and predictability to local government expansion while preventing municipalities from bypassing agreed-upon annexation terms.
