citing decisions per year

Court decisions citing this, by year. The dip in the last several years is a data-coverage gap, not a real trend — our corpus holds fewer opinions from the most recent years, so recent citations are undercounted.

With this chapter, the general assembly intends to establish a comprehensive growth policy for this state that:

(1) Eliminates annexation or incorporation out of fear;

(2) Establishes incentives to annex or incorporate where appropriate;

(3) More closely matches the timing of development and the provision of public services;

(4) Stabilizes each county's education funding base and establishes an incentive for each county legislative body to be more interested in education matters; and

(5) Minimizes urban sprawl.
