HB 6677
AN ACT AMENDING THE CONVEYANCE OF A PARCEL OF STATE
LAND IN THE CITY OF HARTFORD AT 75 ELM STREET.
SUMMARY
This bill amends section 8 of PA 18-154, which required the
Department of Administrative Services, on behalf of the Judicial
Department, to convey a parcel of land in Hartford to the Capital
Region Development Authority (CRDA) for administrative costs. It
requires CRDA to use the parcel for economic development and
housing purposes, in addition to a parking garage as existing law
provides.
Under current law, the parcel reverts to the Judicial Department if
CRDA (1) does not develop the parcel with a garage within 10 years of
its conveyance, (2) demolishes the garage, or (3) ceases using it as a
garage. The bill modifies the third criterion to instead provide that the
parcel reverts to the Judicial Department if CRDA stops using it as a
garage and for housing and economic development purposes.
The bill also makes a technical change.
