Substitute House Bill No. 5521, also known as Special Act No. 24-6, is a legislative act concerning the conveyance of a parcel of state land in the town of Cheshire. The act authorizes the Commissioner of Administrative Services, on behalf of the Commissioner of Emergency Services and Public Protection, to transfer a parcel of land approximately 2.5 acres in size to the town of Cheshire. This land is part of a larger 7.22-acre parcel located at 1996 Highland Avenue. The town is responsible for any survey costs if deemed necessary by the Commissioner of Administrative Services. The exact size and location of the parcel, as well as any state-reserved easements, will be determined by the Commissioner. The conveyance is subject to the approval of the State Properties Review Board and must be completed at a cost equal to the administrative costs of making the conveyance.

The town of Cheshire is required to sell the conveyed parcel for economic development purposes by September 15, 2027. If the town fails to do so, the land will revert to the state of Connecticut. The sale price must reflect the fair market value as determined by the average of two independent appraisals selected by the Commissioner of Administrative Services. These appraisals must be completed within six months of the conveyance and updated as necessary. Proceeds from the sale are to be transferred to the State Treasurer for deposit into the General Fund. Additionally, any development on the parcel is subject to review and approval by the municipal aquifer protection agency, in accordance with state regulations. The State Properties Review Board has thirty days to review the conveyance after receiving a proposed agreement. The land remains under the care of the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection until the conveyance is executed, which is the responsibility of the Commissioner of Emergency Services and Public Protection. The State Treasurer is tasked with executing and delivering the necessary deed or instrument for the conveyance, which must include provisions to fulfill the purposes outlined in subsection (b) of this section. The act was approved on May 30, 2024.
