HJ 12 Connecticut House · 2025 Regular Session

RESOLUTION PROPOSING A STATE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT TO ALLOW MUNICIPALITIES TO PRESERVE CONTROL OF ZONING AUTHORITY.

This bill proposes amending the state constitution to ensure municipalities (cities and towns) retain full authority over local zoning rules. It would prohibit the state government or regional agencies from overriding or restricting a municipality's ability to create and enforce its own zoning regulations. If approved, this amendment would directly affect all local governments by preventing state-level interference in land-use planning decisions. The change requires voter approval after legislative passage, as it alters the state constitution.
