The proposed bill, Substitute House Bill No. 6993, aims to allow certain special taxing districts in Connecticut to equally apportion costs related to the maintenance of beaches and private roads among property owners. Specifically, this applies to districts with 120 or fewer lots that were established for maintaining at least one beach and one private road, and that include at least one lot not accessible by a district-maintained road. To implement this equal apportionment, the district's board must first approve a resolution, followed by a meeting of district voters within 30 days, where a majority must support the proposal. If approved, the district clerk is required to notify the Secretary of the Office of Policy and Management within seven days.

The bill introduces new legal language that allows for this method of cost apportionment, while also specifying the conditions under which it can be applied. It is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and will be applicable to assessment years starting on or after October 1, 2025. The bill is expected to potentially generate revenue for special taxing districts that choose to adopt this equal apportionment method, depending on the costs involved and the specific districts that were created by a special act.
