Summary
Amends the Municipal Code. Provides that territory that is separated from a municipality only by a federal wildlife refuge may be annexed to the municipality if the municipality can show that the federal wildlife refuge creates an artificial barrier preventing annexation. Provides that it shall be conclusively presumed that the federal wildlife refuge does not create an artificial barrier if the annexing municipality is not the closest municipality within the county to the property to be annexed (now, does not limit the provision to municipalities within the county). Effective immediately.
