Etowah County drops some land annexation votes

The law removes a specific voter-approval rule for adding Etowah County land to city or town boundaries. This applies to municipalities that were not wholly within the county on January 1, 1986. Those municipalities no longer need approval under this rule, but residents lose that voting safeguard. Other annexation requirements remain unchanged.
