§  716.  Restrictions  and  prohibitions.    Notwithstanding any other   provision of this article or of any other law:1. An annexation shall not affect the boundaries of any  congressional   district, senate district or assembly district.2.  The  date  on which any such annexation shall take effect shall be   such that it will not deprive a qualified elector of his right  to  vote   at  the general election to be held on the first Tuesday next succeeding   the first Monday in November of the year in which the annexation  is  to   become effective.3.  A  county  shall  not  annex  territory situated in another county   unless the territory so annexed shall on the same  date  be  annexed  to   either a city situated in whole or in part, or to a town situated in the   county to which the territory is annexed.4.  A city shall not annex territory situated in a county other than a   county in which such city is situated unless the  territory  so  annexed   shall on the same date be annexed to the county, or one of the counties,   in which such city is situated.5.  A  town  shall not annex territory situated in a county other than   the county in which such  town  is  situated  unless  the  territory  so   annexed  shall  on  the same date be annexed to the county in which such   town is situated.6. A village shall not annex territory of a city unless the  territory   so  annexed  shall on the same date be annexed to the town, or to one or   more of the towns, in which the village is situated.7. A  village  may  annex  territory  of  another  village,  but  such   annexation  shall  not  result  in  any  change of the boundaries of any   county or town.  This provision shall not be deemed to prevent any  such   annexation  simultaneously with an annexation of the same territory by a   county and the town  or  towns  in  which  the  village  to  which  such   territory  is to be annexed is situated in whole or in part or, when the   territory so annexed is situated in the same  county  as  such  village,   with  an  annexation of the same territory by the town or towns in which   such village is situated in whole or in part.8. A town may annex territory of a city, but such annexation shall not   result in any change of the boundaries  of  a  village.  This  provision   shall   not  be  deemed  to  prevent  any  such  annexation  by  a  town   simultaneously with an annexation of the same territory by a county  and   by  a  village  or villages situated in whole or in part in such town or   with an annexation by a village or villages situated in whole or in part   in such town.9. A town may annex territory of another  town,  but  such  annexation   shall  not  result  in  any  change in the boundaries of a village. This   provision shall not be deemed to prevent any such annexation by  a  town   simultaneously  with an annexation of the same territory by a village or   villages situated in whole or in part in either or both of such towns.10. An annexation by a county shall  not  increase  the  area  of  any   county  improvement  district  in  such  county.  If  a  county  annexes   territory in another county and such territory includes in whole  or  in   part  the  area  of  a county improvement district situated in the other   county, the area of the  county  improvement  district  located  in  the   territory  annexed  shall  cease to be a part of such district when such   annexation becomes effective.11. If a city annexes territory of a town and such territory  includes   in  whole  or  in  part  the  area of any fire district, fire protection   district or fire alarm district or of any town special  district  or  of   any  town improvement district, the area of any such district located in   the territory annexed shall cease to be a part  of  such  district  when   such annexation becomes effective. 12. If a village annexes territory of the town in which it is situated   or  of another village located in such town or in another town, any such   annexation shall not affect  the  boundaries  of  any  town  special  or   improvement  district  in  such  town  or  the  boundaries  of  any fire   district, fire protection district or fire alarm district.13. If a town annexes territory of another town, such annexation shall   not affect the boundaries of any fire district, fire protection district   or fire alarm district, but the territory so annexed shall cease to be a   part of any town special or improvement district in such other town when   the annexation becomes effective.
