MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION
 submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)




 
BILL NUMBER: A10210
 
SPONSOR: Skoufis

 
TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend the general municipal law, in relation
to referrals of certain annexation petitions
 
 
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:
 
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 SPECIFIC 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.
