S27 was converted to an omnibus bill to give local communities currently being annexed the right to use the Petition to Reject.

H56 - Local Annexations Subject to 60% Petition.
(formerly Rocky Mount Annexations Repealed)

This local bill to repeal the Rocky Mount forced annexation of the Oak Level Community passed the House early in the session and was sent to the Senate. It stayed in committee until the Senate was ready to move forward with H845.

The Senate put H56 on the Finance Committee agenda and changed the bill to include all the communities that had local repeal bills into one bill that would give these communities the right to use the Petition to Reject that H845 enacts into law.

If you click on each name, it will open a new email using your default email program.

The best way to get your email read is to send each legislator a separate email. Many legislators count but don't read form emails or emails that have a long list of legislators in the "To:" field.  You can copy and paste your message into each email and send individual emails to each Finance Committee member.
