AN ACT CONCERNING PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT.

HB 7003 updates a technical requirement for municipal planning commissions. It requires all official decisions (including approvals or denials of land development projects) to be published in a local newspaper with substantial circulation within 15 days, rather than only for subdivision plans. Appeals from these decisions must follow existing procedures under Section 8-8. The bill takes effect October 1, 2025, with no fiscal impact on state or municipal budgets, as confirmed by the legislative fiscal analysis.
