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 private road. To implement this cost 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. The district clerk is then required to notify the Secretary of the Office of Policy and Management within seven days of the election.

The bill introduces new legal language that allows for this equal cost apportionment, while also specifying the conditions under which it can occur. It is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and will apply 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 method of cost apportionment, depending on the specific costs involved.
