The proposed House Joint Resolution No. 12 seeks to amend Article Tenth of the Connecticut State Constitution to ensure that municipalities retain control over their zoning authority. Specifically, the resolution aims to prevent the state or any political subdivision that is not a municipality from imposing restrictions on a municipality's ability to create and enforce its own zoning regulations.

The purpose of this amendment is to empower local governments by safeguarding their autonomy in zoning matters, thereby allowing them to make decisions that best reflect the needs and interests of their communities without interference from higher levels of government. This resolution has been introduced by Representative Mastrofrancesco and has been referred to the Committee on Planning and Development for further consideration.
