The bill, S.B. No. 2525, amends Section 43.1463(a) of the Local Government Code to specify the conditions under which certain areas annexed by municipalities can be disannexed. It applies to areas annexed by municipalities with populations of 500,000 or more, where the annexation was finalized for full purposes between March 3, 2015, and December 31, 2017. Additionally, the area must have had a population greater than zero at the time of annexation. The bill removes the previous end date of December 1, 2017, and replaces it with December 31, 2017.

Furthermore, the bill mandates that municipalities required to hold an election under the amended Section 43.1463 must do so on the first uniform election date following the effective date of the Act, which is set for September 1, 2025. This ensures that municipalities have adequate time to comply with legal requirements related to the election process.
