**HB 1199 requires South Dakota cities to notify electric utilities before annexing nearby territory.** When a municipality with a city-owned electric utility or receives an annexation petition, it must now send the utility a certified copy of the petition and public hearing notice. This ensures electric utilities have advance warning and a chance to weigh in when cities expand their boundaries.
