Requires (rather than allows) the use of a "rejection threshold" in the case of a proposed local government reorganization involving a county and a municipality. (Under current law, the use of a rejection threshold that must be satisfied by both the voters of the municipality and by the county voters outside the municipality is optional.) Specifies that the rejection threshold (the percentage of the vote needed to reject the proposed reorganization) may not exceed 50% of the vote in the municipality or 50% of the vote in the area of the county outside the municipality.

Local government reorganizations.
