The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6244, aims to amend the general statutes to mandate that all waterfront areas be open to the public. This legislative initiative is introduced by Representative Reyes from the 75th District and is referred to the Committee on Environment. The primary purpose of the bill is to enhance public access to waterways, ensuring that these natural resources are available for community use and enjoyment.

The bill does not specify any deletions from current law but introduces new legal language that emphasizes the requirement for public access to waterfront areas. By enacting this legislation, the General Assembly seeks to promote recreational opportunities and environmental stewardship among the public, thereby fostering a greater connection to local waterways.
