The bill, General Assembly Raised Bill No. 7004, aims to update the legal framework governing interlocal agreements between municipalities in Connecticut. It proposes to repeal Section 7-148cc of the general statutes and replace it with new language that allows two or more municipalities to jointly perform functions that they could individually undertake. This is to be done through an interlocal agreement, as outlined in sections 7-339a to 7-339l. The bill clarifies that the term "municipality" encompasses various forms of local governance, including districts and metropolitan districts.

Key changes in the bill include the replacement of the phrase "the provisions" with "any provision" and the removal of the term "provisions" in favor of "provision" in the context of the general statutes and special acts. These technical adjustments are intended to streamline the language and enhance clarity regarding the collaborative capabilities of municipalities. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
