Senate Bill No. 1403, titled "An Act Concerning Brownfield Remediation," mandates the Commissioner of Economic and Community Development to conduct a study on the remediation and development of brownfields in the state. The bill requires the commissioner to submit a report detailing the findings of this study to the relevant joint standing committee of the General Assembly by February 1, 2026. This new section is inserted into current law as Section 1, effective upon passage.

The bill is projected to have no fiscal impact on the state or municipalities, as it is expected that the Department of Economic and Community Development can carry out the study using existing resources. There are no deletions from current law noted in this bill, and it received a favorable report from the Commerce Committee with a vote of 19 in favor and 1 against.
