HB 7034 Connecticut House · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT PROHIBITING THE REQUIREMENT OF A DONATION OF LAND AS A CONDITION OF SUBDIVISION APPROVAL.

HB 7034 prohibits local governments from requiring developers to donate land as a condition for approving new housing subdivisions. This directly affects developers seeking subdivision approvals and local governments that previously mandated such land donations. The key provision bans the practice of conditioning subdivision approval on the transfer of land ownership to the municipality, ensuring developers cannot be forced to give land to the public as part of the approval process. The bill aims to prevent municipalities from using land donations as a tool to secure public spaces without formal acquisition.
