Adds new section amending GS 160A-58.1(a) (concerning voluntary satellite annexations) to add that a petition for annexation is not valid when: (1) it is unsigned; (2) it is signed by the city for the annexation of property the city does not own or have a legal interest in; or (3) it is for the annexation of property for which a signature is not required and the property owner objects to the annexation. Clarifies that a city (in proposed GS 160A-58.7(b)) and a municipality (in proposed GS 160A-31(i)) have no authority to adopt a resolution or petition for annexation of property it does not own or have any legal interest in.
