House Bill No. 6995 amends the charter of the Metropolitan District of Hartford County, with changes effective October 1, 2025. The bill modifies Section 6 of special act 14-21, replacing the term "Commission" with "District" and changing the submission deadline for the annual report from January 1 to July 1. The report will now be submitted to the Governor, the Auditors of Public Accounts, the Office of Fiscal Analysis, and the joint standing committee of the General Assembly that oversees municipal matters, in accordance with section 11-4a of the general statutes. The report must include details on bond issues, financial assistance projects, water revenue and expenditures, and affirmative action efforts.

Additionally, the bill revises the incorporation process for towns into the Metropolitan District. It allows any town, subject to relevant special acts or municipal charters, to become incorporated into the Metropolitan District with the approval of the district board. The bill also clarifies that the district board can negotiate terms of incorporation, including temporary service charges, which will be uniform with the district's water rates after a specified period. The language regarding towns being "contiguous" to the district has been removed, broadening the potential for incorporation.
