2020 Assembly convened:
2121
2222 That the general statutes be amended to provide that every 1
2323 instrument passing title to real estate abutting a way shall be construed 2

2525 (1) The grantor retains other real estate abutting such way, in which 4
2626 case (A) if the retained real estate is on the same side, the property line 5
2727 between the land granted and the land retained shall be continued into 6
2828 such way as far as the grantor owns; or (B) if the retained real estate is 7
2929 on the other side of such way, the title conveyed shall be to the center of 8
3030 such way; or 9
3131 (2) The instrument evidences a different intent by an express 10
3232 exception or reservation and not alone by bounding by a side line; or 11
3333 (3) Other written evidence establishes that the way was expressly 12
3434 dedicated by the grantor to the town or city within which the way exists. 13 Proposed Bill No. 5373
