Summary

HB695 would annex a described 4.19-acre tract into the City of Spanish Fort and de-annex it from the City of Daphne, changing the boundary lines in Baldwin County.

What This Bill Does

The bill expands Spanish Fort's boundaries to include a specific 4.19-acre area in addition to the land it already has, and makes that area part of Spanish Fort's jurisdiction. It removes the same land from Daphne, transferring control and enforcement of laws to Spanish Fort. A map of the proposed annexation is filed with the Baldwin County Judge of Probate, and the act would take effect immediately upon the Governor's approval.

Who It Affects

• Residents and property owners in the 4.19-acre tract would be governed by Spanish Fort's laws and city government.
• The City of Daphne would lose jurisdiction over the annexed land, which would now be under Spanish Fort.

Key Provisions

• Section 1: Alters and extends the boundary of the City of Spanish Fort to include the described 4.19-acre territory (in addition to existing Spanish Fort land).
• Section 2: The annexed territory becomes subject to Spanish Fort laws and ordinances; any part of the described area currently claimed by Daphne is de-annexed from Daphne.
• Section 3: A map showing the proposed annexation is on file with the Baldwin County Judge of Probate and is available for public inspection.
• Section 4: The act is severable; if part is invalid, the rest remains in effect.
• Section 5: Any laws that conflict with this act are repealed.
• Section 6: The act becomes effective immediately upon approval by the Governor (or otherwise becoming law).
