The General Assembly Raised Bill No. 7003 aims to amend the publication requirements for actions or decisions made by planning commissions. Specifically, it repeals the existing language in Section 8-28 of the general statutes and replaces it with a new requirement that all official actions or decisions must be published in a newspaper with substantial circulation in the municipality not later than fifteen days after the action or decision is made. This change emphasizes the timeliness of public notice regarding planning commission activities.

Additionally, the bill maintains the existing process for appeals from planning commission actions, which must still be taken in accordance with the provisions of section 8-8. The effective date for this amendment is set for October 1, 2025. Overall, the bill seeks to enhance transparency and ensure that the public is adequately informed about planning commission decisions in a timely manner.
