AN ACT AUTHORIZING BONDS OF THE STATE FOR AN AQUATICS CENTER AT THE WALLINGFORD FAMILY YMCA WEST SIDE BRANCH.

HB 5989 authorizes the state to issue up to $1 million in bonds to fund a $7 million aquatics center at the Wallingford Family YMCA West Side Branch. The bond proceeds would provide a grant to the Department of Economic and Community Development for construction, directly benefiting Wallingford residents and surrounding communities. Key provisions include using state bonds for the construction grant and specifying the facility will offer expanded swim lessons, water therapy, lifeguard training, and swim teams. This is a funding authorization bill with no new regulations or policy changes, focusing solely on financing the YMCA project.
