Introduced by Rep. Jessyn Farrell (Kenmore) (D) on January 27, 2017
Referred to the House Local Government Committee on January 27, 2017
Substitute offered in the House on February 15, 2017
Permits a city or town located within reasonable proximity, rather than adjacent, to a fire protection district (district) to be annexed to that district.
Amendment offered by Rep. Jessyn Farrell (Kenmore) (D) on February 28, 2017
Corrects a drafting error and makes the definition of "reasonable proximity" consistent with how it is defined in section
1 of the act. Defines "reasonable proximity," as it relates to fire
district annexations, to mean geographical areas near enough to each other so that governance, management, and services can be delivered effectively.
The amendment passed by voice vote in the House on February 28, 2017
