AN ACT STUDYING THE FEASIBILITY OF INSTALLING PIPES FOR UTILITY OR FIBER-OPTIC WIRING OR BUILDING A TUNNEL UNDERNEATH THE LONG ISLAND SOUND.

SB 1090 requires Connecticut's Department of Transportation to study whether installing utility/fiber-optic pipes or building tunnels under Long Island Sound is feasible. The study will assess both pipes for electricity, gas, or internet cables and tunnels for vehicle traffic. It mandates a report to the legislature's transportation committee after evaluating practical, financial, and environmental factors. This bill does not fund or authorize construction, only examining potential future projects. The study directly affects Long Island Sound coastal communities and utility providers by assessing infrastructure options.
