LIBRARIES-TERRITORY ANNEXATION
Summary
Amends the Public Library District Act. Provides that territory annexed by a public library district included within a municipality or school district shall be approved by ordinance of the board, publication or posting, and voter referendum (rather than only by ordinance of the board with the option for a back-door referendum to prevent the annexation). Repeals provisions allowing a referendum to disconnect annexed territory from a library district. Effective immediately.
