The General Assembly Raised Bill No. 6940 aims to establish a working group tasked with developing a uniform statutory definition of "affordable housing" as referenced in section 8-30g of the general statutes. The working group will be chaired by the chairpersons of the joint standing committee on housing and will include various stakeholders, such as the Commissioner of Housing or their designee, along with other individuals deemed helpful for gathering information and data. The first meeting of the working group is required to be scheduled within sixty days of the bill's passage.

Additionally, the bill mandates that the working group submit a report detailing its findings and recommendations to the housing committee by January 1, 2026. The working group will dissolve upon submitting this report or on January 1, 2026, whichever occurs later. The bill introduces new legal language to establish this working group and its functions, while no deletions from current law are specified in the text.
