House Bill No. 5369 establishes a task force aimed at evaluating the calculation of the threshold for the affordable housing appeals process as outlined in section 8-30g of the general statutes. The task force will specifically assess the current ten percent threshold and recommend alternatives. It will consist of members appointed by the leadership of the House and Senate, including individuals with expertise in municipal housing and zoning policy, as well as representatives from municipal organizations and smaller municipalities. The task force is required to submit its findings and recommendations by January 1, 2027, and will dissolve upon submission of the report or on that date, whichever is later.

The bill includes new legal language that establishes the task force and outlines its composition, appointment process, and reporting requirements. There are no deletions from current law, as this bill introduces a new section to the statutes. The fiscal impact of the bill is noted to be negligible, with no expected costs to the state or municipalities, as the task force is expected to operate within existing resources.
