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 emphasizes the insertion of new legal language that requires public access to all waterfront areas. This change is intended to promote recreational opportunities and environmental stewardship by making waterfronts more accessible to the public.
