§ 23538 County Consolidation Commission Report

Key Takeaways

  • •A group of people (the commission) has 180 days to make a decision and write a report about combining counties.
  • •Every member of the group must sign the report.
  • •The report's decisions are final and must be followed if the counties are legally combined.

Example

Imagine two small towns want to become one big town to share resources.

A group of leaders from both towns has 6 months to decide how this will work. They write a report with the rules, and everyone in the group signs it. If the towns officially become one, everyone has to follow the rules in the report.
