§ 23248 County Boundary Review Commission

Key Takeaways

  • •If someone wants to change a county's borders, the Governor gets a notice about it.
  • •The Governor then creates a special group called the County Boundary Review Commission to look at the change.
  • •This group has 5 people: 2 from the area that wants to move, 2 from the county that might get the new area, and 1 person who doesn’t live in either place.

Example

Imagine a small town wants to become part of a nearby county because they think they’ll get better schools.

The Governor would get a notice about this plan. Then, the Governor would pick 5 people to study if this is a good idea. Two of these people would be from the small town, two from the nearby county, and one person who doesn’t live in either place.
