AN ACT CONCERNING MUNICIPALITIES ELIGIBLE TO PROPOSE PROJECTS FOR CONSIDERATION BY THE COMMUNITY INVESTMENT FUND 2030 BOARD.

HB 6319 expands eligibility for municipalities to propose projects to the Community Investment Fund 2030 Board. It allows any municipality containing at least one economically distressed neighborhood (census tract) to submit projects for consideration. The bill amends existing law to explicitly include these municipalities as eligible applicants. This change directly affects towns and cities with designated economically distressed areas, enabling them to access the fund for community development projects. The policy change is limited to adjusting who can apply, not altering the fund's funding mechanisms or approval processes.
