The General Assembly Raised Bill No. 5331 aims to allow certain crematories in Connecticut to continue their operations while they are in the process of renewing or obtaining air permits. Specifically, the bill stipulates that any crematory that was approved for operation and received an inspection certificate before January 1, 2020, may continue to operate during the period in which they seek a renewal or expansion of their air permit under chapter 446c of the general statutes.
This legislation is designed to provide a safeguard for crematories, ensuring they can maintain their services without interruption while navigating the permit renewal process. The bill introduces new legal language that permits these continued operations, effectively amending existing statutes to accommodate the needs of these facilities.
