Relates to referrals of certain annexation petitions

This bill requires county planning departments to review certain annexation petitions before municipalities can finalize them. It specifically applies to annexations that would need county approval for water or sewer services - either for the county to provide those services or for the annexing municipality to provide them. The law mandates that municipalities must follow this referral process and obtain the county planning department's recommendation before making a final annexation decision. This change affects local governments seeking to expand their boundaries where utility services are involved. The bill takes immediate effect for pending annexation petitions.
