Summary

HB578 would expand the Town of Lexington's boundaries by annexing specific parcels of land in Lauderdale County.

What This Bill Does

The act becomes effective on the first day of the third month after it passes and the governor signs it (or otherwise becomes law).

Who It Affects

• The Town of Lexington and Lauderdale County governments, which would gain new land to govern and potentially provide services to.
• Property owners and residents within the annexed parcels (including the Lexington Fabrics, Inc. area described), who would become part of Lexington's limits and subject to its rules, taxes, and services.

Key Provisions

• Annexes the specified parcels into the Town of Lexington's corporate limits, expanding Lexington's boundary.
• Requires a map of the proposed annexation to be filed and publicly accessible in Lauderdale County, and establishes the effective date as the first day of the third month after passage and governor approval.
