Substitute House Bill No. 5577 amends Special Act 24-13 to facilitate the conveyance of a parcel of land, approximately 3 acres in size, to the town of Somers. The bill specifies that the Commissioner of Administrative Services, on behalf of the Commissioner of Correction, will convey the land at a cost that includes administrative expenses, rather than the fair market value determined by appraisals. The legal description of the land has been updated, changing the direction of one boundary from S75º36'40"E to N75º36'40"W, and adjusting the length of another boundary from 578.44 feet to 561.03 feet.

Additionally, the bill outlines that the town of Somers must use the land for public safety purposes, and if it fails to do so, does not retain ownership, or leases any part of the parcel, the land will revert to the state. The Commissioner of Correction will retain an easement for a fire department staging area on the property. The State Properties Review Board is required to complete its review of the conveyance within thirty days of receiving a proposed agreement, and the land will remain under the care of the Commissioner of Correction until the conveyance is finalized.
