HB 2915: Annexing park districts

Providing for metropolitan park districts.

Summary

  • Allows certain counties planning under the Growth Management Act to propose to voters the creation of a metropolitan park district consisting of the unincorporated portions of an urban growth area, even if the portions are not contiguous, if there is a joint provision of parks and recreation services by the city and the county, or an interlocal agreement with the city and the area is not part of an existing metropolitan park district.
  • Territory entirely within an unincorporated park district is automatically excluded from the district upon annexation to a city through an interlocal agreement with the city that disburses assets and debt in an orderly and equitable way.
