AN ACT ESTABLISHING A WORKING GROUP TO DEVELOP A UNIFORM STATUTORY DEFINITION OF "AFFORDABLE HOUSING".

HB 6940 establishes a working group to create a uniform legal definition of "affordable housing" as referenced in existing housing law (section 8-30g of the general statutes). The group, led by housing committee chairs and including housing officials like the Commissioner of Housing, must meet within 60 days and submit a report by January 1, 2026. This procedural bill aims to clarify a key term in housing policy without changing current laws or creating new costs, as confirmed by the fiscal note stating "no state or municipal impact."
