Raised Bill No. 6833 proposes a series of technical revisions to existing statutes concerning planning, development, and municipal financial management, with an effective date of July 1, 2025. Notable changes include the replacement of the term "alderman" with "aldermen" in the definition of "legislative body" in section 4-124s, and a clarification of the costs eligible for payment from a district master plan fund under section 7-339hh, which now encompasses a broader range of improvements and economic development costs. The bill also modifies the filing requirements for audit reports in section 7-393, mandating that certified copies be submitted to various authorities within six months of the fiscal year-end, with a potential thirty-day extension contingent upon a written request from the auditor and the chief executive officer.

Additionally, the bill introduces amendments regarding the qualifications for renters to receive state grants for utility and rent payments, specifying that renters must be at least 65 years old or meet certain disability criteria, reside in the state for at least one year, and have qualifying income below specified thresholds. It also clarifies the calculation of grants based on rent and utility expenses for multiple occupants, treating married couples as a single tenant. The act aims to streamline processes, enhance clarity in existing laws, and improve access to funding for municipalities while ensuring compliance with financial management standards.
