SB 1529 Connecticut Senate · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT REVISING THE EFFECTIVE DATES OF PROVISIONS REGARDING CERTAIN MUNICIPAL REFERENDA AND EQUITY JOINT VENTURES AND CONCERNING CONTRACTS WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENTAL SERVICES, THE COMMISSIONER OF EDUCATION'S NETWORK OF SCHOOLS, THE REPORTING OF CERTAIN SCHOOL DISTRICT FINANCIAL INFORMATION, THE FAILURE TO FILE FOR CERTAIN GRAND LIST EXEMPTIONS AND THE DEFERRALS OF CERTAIN TOWNS' REAL PROPERTY REVALUATIONS.

SB 1529 revises the effective dates for several existing provisions in Connecticut law. It affects municipalities, school districts, and entities like the Department of Developmental Services by adjusting when rules about municipal referendums, school financial reporting, property tax exemptions, and town property revaluations take effect. The bill does not create new policies but changes implementation timelines for these specific, pre-existing requirements. It became law as Public Act 25-175 after being signed by the governor on July 1, 2025.

Raised Bill → FIN Joint Favorable Substitute · 3 edits
MINOR
The bill was amended to expand its scope from a single town to multiple municipalities. The original version only applied to the town of Canton, while the new version adds provisions for the towns of Berlin, Newington, and the city of New Haven to receive similar tax exemption relief. Additionally, the effective date for the Trumbull revaluation deferral was changed from 'from passage' to 'July 1, 2025' to align with the other sections.
Scope change
The bill now applies to five municipalities instead of one: Canton, Berlin, Newington, New Haven, and Trumbull.
SCOPE

Added new sections for the towns of Berlin, Newington, and the city of New Haven to receive the same tax exemption relief that was originally only available to the town of Canton.

TIMELINE

Changed the effective date for the Trumbull revaluation deferral from 'from passage' to 'July 1, 2025' to match the effective date of the other sections.

ELIGIBILITY

Updated the year of the grand list exemption from 2023 to 2024 for Berlin and 2022 for New Haven to reflect the correct tax year for each municipality.
