Proposed Bill No. 5351, introduced by REP. ACKERT of the 8th District, aims to address the issue of unclaimed or abandoned real property and its impact on municipalities. The bill proposes an amendment to the general statutes that would require the Office of Policy and Management to create a working group. This working group, which would operate within the available resources, is tasked with studying the financial and legal consequences that municipalities face due to unclaimed or abandoned real property.

The purpose of this act is to gain a better understanding of the challenges municipalities encounter as a result of properties that have been left unclaimed or abandoned. By establishing this working group, the bill seeks to identify the consequences and potentially develop strategies or policies to mitigate the negative effects on municipalities. There are no specific insertions or deletions from the current law mentioned in the provided text, as it suggests the creation of a new requirement rather than a modification of existing legal language.
