AN ACT CONCERNING LOCAL CONTROL OF ZONING.
HB 6542 would amend state law to give municipalities (towns and cities) absolute authority over local zoning regulations, removing any state-level oversight. This directly affects all municipalities in the state, as they would gain full control over land use decisions like building types, density, and development projects within their borders. The bill's sole provision is transferring zoning power entirely to local governments, with no additional requirements or exceptions specified. It does not change specific zoning rules but shifts decision-making responsibility from the state to local officials. This is a procedural change to state law, not a detailed policy with new requirements.
