General Municipal (GMU) CHAPTER 24, ARTICLE 17
§ 714. Annexation after election approving proposition. 1. Upon the
filing of the certificate or certificates of election approving the
proposition together with the notice of entry of a final judgment of a
court or of the approving orders of the governing boards of the affected
local governments, the governing board or boards of the local government
or governments to which such territory is to be annexed shall forthwith
by local law, and without any hearing thereon, annex to such local
government the territory described in the petition. In the case of a
municipality consisting of wards, councilmanic districts or other
subdivisions from which representation on any elective board or body is
selected, such local law shall designate the wards, councilmanic
districts or other such subdivisions within which the territory so
annexed shall be included, which local law shall be adopted without
referendum notwithstanding any inconsistent general, special or local
law.

2. A local law annexing territory to a local government pursuant to
this section shall specify the date on which such annexation shall
become effective, giving due regard to the taxable status dates of all
the local governments to which and from which such territory is so
annexed and to the fiscal years of such local governments for which
taxes, special ad valorem levies or special assessments are imposed.
Such date shall be no earlier than the date of filing such local law in
the office of the secretary of state.
