Stallings/Marvin Satellite Annexations.
SB 219 removes a statewide 10% area cap on noncontiguous land annexations for the Village of Marvin. Currently, most cities and towns in North Carolina are limited to annexing satellite areas that don’t exceed 10% of their main territory, but this bill specifically exempts Marvin from that rule. The key change is removing the restriction (found in G.S. 160A-58.1(b)(5)) that applies to other municipalities, allowing Marvin to annex additional noncontiguous land without that percentage limit. This bill directly affects Marvin’s ability to expand its jurisdiction through satellite annexations. The measure is pending final passage after recent committee review.

MODERATE
This bill was amended to expand its scope by adding the Town of Stallings to the list of municipalities eligible for satellite annexation relief. The title and operative text were updated to reflect this inclusion, while the bill's effective date and committee status remain unchanged.
Scope change
The bill's applicability was expanded to include the Town of Stallings alongside the Village of Marvin, allowing both municipalities to petition for satellite annexations without the previous statutory cap.
SCOPE
The short title was changed from 'Village of Marvin Satellite Annexations' to 'Stallings/Marvin Satellite Annexations' to reflect the inclusion of the Town of Stallings.
The operative language in the act was updated to state that the cap removal applies to both the Town of Stallings and the Village of Marvin, rather than just the Village of Marvin.
The Town of Stallings was added to the list of municipalities in Section 1, expanding the eligibility for satellite annexation relief.
TECHNICAL
Minor formatting changes were made to the header, including session page numbers and version identifiers (v-1 to v-2), along with removal of sponsor and referral information.
