AN ACT CONCERNING THE LABOR DEPARTMENT AND THE PROVISION OF STATISTICAL INFORMATION TO THE UNITED STATES OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Assembly convened:
Section 1. (NEW) (Effective October 1, 2011) On or before January 1, 2012, and biannually thereafter, the Labor Commissioner shall provide to the United States Office of Management and Budget any information related to labor or employment in the state necessary for the purposes of updating any Core Based Statistical Area, Metropolitan Statistical Area or Micropolitan Statistical Area in which any Connecticut municipality is included.
Sec. 2. Section 8-273a of the general statutes is repealed and the following is substituted in lieu thereof (Effective from passage):
(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of the general statutes to the contrary, whenever the Commissioner of Transportation undertakes the acquisition of real property on a state or federally-funded project which results in any person being displaced from his home, business, or farm, the Commissioner of Transportation is hereby authorized to provide relocation assistance and to make relocation payments to such displaced persons and to do such other acts and follow procedures and practices as may be necessary to comply with or to provide the same relocation assistance and relocation payments as provided under the federal Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, 42 USC 4601 et seq. and any subsequent amendments thereto and regulations promulgated thereunder.
(b) (1) Whenever the Commissioner of Transportation acquires an outdoor advertising structure, the amount of compensation to the owner of the outdoor advertising structure shall include either (A) payment for relocation costs incurred by such owner, or (B) the amount determined in accordance with subdivision (2) or (3) of this subsection. For purposes of this section, the fair market value of the outdoor advertising structure shall be determined by the income capitalization method.
(2) If the owner (A) is able to obtain, within one year of acquisition by the commissioner or any additional period to which the owner and the commissioner both consent, all state and local permits necessary for relocation of the outdoor advertising structure to another site in the [Standard Metropolitan] Core Based Statistical Area, as designated in the federal census, in which the outdoor advertising structure is located, and (B) such site was not previously offered for sale or lease to the owner of the outdoor advertising structure, then the commissioner shall pay to the owner the replacement cost of the outdoor advertising structure, plus the fair market value of such outdoor advertising structure less the fair market value of the outdoor advertising structure at the new site.
(3) If the owner (A) is unable to obtain, within one year of acquisition by the commissioner or any additional period to which the owner and the commissioner both consent, all state and local permits necessary for relocation to another site in the same [Standard Metropolitan] Core Based Statistical Area, as designated in the federal census in which the outdoor advertising structure is located, or (B) such site was previously offered for sale or lease to the owner of the outdoor advertising structure, the commissioner shall pay the fair market value of the outdoor advertising structure the commissioner has acquired. The owner shall provide to the commissioner written documentation sufficient to establish that all state and local necessary permits cannot be obtained for relocation within one year of acquisition or any additional period to which the owner and the commissioner both consent or that the only available relocation sites have been previously offered for sale or lease to the owner.
(4) Any person aggrieved by determination of the amount of compensation paid under this subsection may appeal to the State Properties Review Board.
(5) The provisions of this subsection shall not be construed to authorize any action that is found to violate the provisions of 23 USC 131 or 23 CFR 750 or the terms of an agreement entered into by the Commissioner of Transportation with the Secretary of Commerce pursuant to subsection (b) of section 13a-123.
Sec. 3. Subsection (g) of section 8-302 of the general statutes is repealed and the following is substituted in lieu thereof (Effective from passage):
(g) "Low and moderate income families and persons" means families and persons who lack the amount of income necessary, as determined by the municipality, to purchase or rehabilitate safe and adequate housing without financial assistance under this chapter. The income limits for families and persons assisted under this chapter shall be established by the municipality, provided such limits shall not be set at a level which is (1) higher than one hundred twenty per cent of the current median family income for a family of four in the [Standard Metropolitan] Core Based Statistical Area, as designated in the federal census, within which the municipality is located or (2) with respect to distressed portions of the municipality, higher than two hundred per cent of the current median family income for a family of four in such [Standard Metropolitan] Core Based Statistical Area and provided further, up to fifteen per cent of the total financial assistance under any housing finance assistance plan may be provided notwithstanding subdivisions (1) and (2) of this subsection upon a finding by the legislative body that a public purpose is served thereby in encouraging the development of a balanced community of all income levels in the urban areas of the municipality;
