The bill, General Assembly Raised Bill No. 5574, amends the conveyance of a parcel of state land to the town of Hamden, specifically extending the deadline for this conveyance. The bill stipulates that the Commissioner of Administrative Services, on behalf of the Commissioner of Children and Families, will convey approximately 50.29 acres of land, including improvements, for a total of $1.5 million, subject to the approval of the State Properties Review Board. The legal language has been updated to reflect that if the conveyance does not occur by June 30, 2027, the parcel will not be conveyed unless the town of Hamden requests an extension, which may be granted for an additional six months, with the town responsible for reimbursing the state for any associated costs.
Additionally, the bill specifies that the State Properties Review Board must complete its review of the conveyance within thirty days of receiving a proposed agreement from the Department of Administrative Services. The land will remain under state care and control until the conveyance is finalized, and the State Treasurer is tasked with executing any necessary deeds or instruments for the conveyance. The primary purpose of this act is to extend the deadline for the conveyance by one year, ensuring that the town of Hamden has the opportunity to acquire the property.
