AN ACT CONCERNING BROWNFIELD REMEDIATION.

SB 1403 requires Connecticut's Commissioner of Economic and Community Development to study issues related to cleaning up and redeveloping brownfields - abandoned or underused properties with potential environmental contamination. The study must be completed by February 1, 2026, and reported to the legislature. This bill does not create new regulations, funding, or requirements; it solely directs a state agency to gather information on brownfield challenges. The study aims to inform future policy decisions but has no fiscal impact on state or local governments.
