Substitute House Bill No. 5581 amends a prior conveyance of a parcel of state land to the town of Rocky Hill. The bill specifies that the Commissioner of Transportation will convey approximately 5.3 acres of land located at 1090 Maple Street to the town, with the cost of the conveyance now being the administrative costs rather than the fair market value as previously determined by appraisals. The conveyance is subject to the approval of the State Properties Review Board, and the precise area of the parcel will be determined by the Department of Transportation.

Additionally, the bill introduces new requirements for the use of the conveyed land. The town of Rocky Hill is mandated to use the parcel for open space or passive recreational purposes. If the town fails to use the land for these purposes, does not retain ownership, or leases any part of it, the parcel will revert to the state of Connecticut. The bill also includes provisions for the State Properties Review Board to complete its review within thirty days and for the State Treasurer to execute necessary deeds that reflect these new stipulations.
