The General Assembly Raised Bill No. 1566 proposes the conveyance of a parcel of state land, approximately 1.554 acres, to the town of Cheshire for the purpose of expanding the adjacent school bus depot located at 157 Sandbank Road. The land will be transferred at a nominal cost of one dollar, plus any administrative costs associated with the conveyance. The transfer is contingent upon the approval of the State Properties Review Board and includes provisions that require the town to use the land for the specified purpose. If the town fails to do so, does not retain ownership, or leases any part of the parcel, the land will revert back to the state.

Additionally, the bill outlines that the State Properties Review Board must complete its review of the conveyance within thirty days of receiving a proposed agreement from the Department of Administrative Services. The state will maintain care and control of the land until the conveyance is finalized, and the State Treasurer is responsible for executing any necessary deeds or instruments to facilitate the transfer. This act is set to take effect upon passage and introduces new legal language to current law regarding the conveyance process.
