Senate Bill 6 has been passed by both houses of the Texas Legislature, with the Senate giving final approval today to amendments make by the House.
The bill clearly applies to the city of Georgetown. An election is required if 200 voters or more reside in the proposed annexation and a majority must approve. There are other elements of the bill to deal with different unique circumstances.
The bill now goes to Governor Abbott who is expected to sign it into law and it will take effect December 1, 2017. It would apply to annexations not yet finalized by that date.
