The General Assembly Raised Bill No. 5150 aims to authorize state grant commitments for various public school building projects and revise existing school building project statutes. The bill empowers the Commissioner of Administrative Services to enter into grant commitments based on a prioritized list of eligible projects, which must be submitted to a committee of the General Assembly by December 15, 2025. The bill outlines specific projects and their estimated costs and grants, including those for schools in Milford, Norwich, Seymour, Stamford, Waterbury, and Westport.

Additionally, the bill introduces a new provision in Section 10-285a of the general statutes, effective July 1, 2026, which stipulates that if a school district experiences a student enrollment increase of 20% or more over the preceding ten years, the reimbursement percentage for that district will be raised by 20 percentage points, with a cap that prevents the reimbursement from exceeding 100%. This change is intended to provide additional financial support to districts facing significant enrollment growth.
