The bill, Substitute House Bill No. 7285, authorizes the conveyance of a 50.29-acre parcel of state land, previously known as High Meadows, from the Department of Children and Families to the town of Hamden for a purchase price of $1,500,000, plus administrative costs. The conveyance is contingent upon the approval of the State Properties Review Board and must be completed by June 30, 2026, with a possible six-month extension if requested by Hamden. The bill also stipulates that the land and any improvements will remain under state control until the conveyance is finalized, and the State Treasurer is responsible for executing the necessary deed.

Additionally, the bill repeals Special Act 19-4, as amended by Special Act 22-17, which previously authorized a similar conveyance that has since expired. The fiscal impact of the bill indicates that while the state will gain revenue from the sale, it will also lose an asset valued at approximately $8,400,000. The town of Hamden will benefit from the acquisition of the land, which will enhance its municipal resources.
