The proposed legislation, General Assembly Raised Bill No. 5281, aims to amend Section 8-28 of the general statutes concerning the publication requirements for actions or decisions made by planning commissions. The bill stipulates that all official actions or decisions, including those related to the approval or denial of subdivision plans, must be published in a newspaper with substantial circulation in the municipality not later than fifteen days after the action or decision is made. This change replaces the previous requirement that such notices be published "within" a certain timeframe.

Additionally, the bill maintains that any appeals from the actions or decisions of a planning commission must follow the provisions outlined in section 8-8. The effective date for this amendment is set for October 1, 2026. The purpose of this legislation is to clarify the publication requirements, ensuring timely communication of planning commission decisions to the public.
