AN ACT CONCERNING THE PROCESS FOR INITIATING LOCAL LEGISLATION IN THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

Summary

The bill prevents Connecticut’s General Assembly from passing special laws for towns, cities, boroughs, or other local units unless those entities submit a formal request. Requests must come either from a qualified council or board resolution or a petition signed by at least 10 % of registered voters, and the local clerk must certify and forward the request to the Secretary of State before the legislative session. The change standardizes how local legislation is initiated and documented.
