The General Assembly Raised Bill No. 5287 aims to implement technical revisions to existing statutes related to planning and development. The bill proposes to repeal and replace specific subsections of the general statutes, effective October 1, 2026. Notably, it modifies subsection (d) of section 7-576e to clarify that no municipality can be designated as a tier IV municipality by any means other than those specified in subsection (a) until April 1, 2018. Additionally, it amends subsection (b) of section 7-576i to allow the secretary to distribute funds from the Municipal Restructuring Fund to third parties on behalf of designated tier II municipalities, while removing references to tiers III and IV.

Furthermore, the bill revises subdivision (8) of subsection (a) of section 8-13dd to align the definition of "planning region" with that provided in section 4-124i. The proposed changes aim to streamline and clarify the language within the statutes, ensuring consistency and accuracy in the legal framework governing planning and development in the state.
