SB 1117 Connecticut Senate · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT CONCERNING REFERENDA ON REVISIONS TO MUNICIPAL CHARTERS AND HOME RULE ORDINANCES.

SB 1117 requires municipalities to present clearer, simpler ballot questions for voter approval of changes to local charters or home rule ordinances. It mandates that key provisions - like those affecting taxes or voting rights - be voted on separately rather than as part of a single package. The bill aims to improve voter understanding of local government changes by setting minimum standards for ballot language, directly affecting cities and towns seeking to amend their governing documents.
