AN ACT AMENDING A PRIOR CONVEYANCE OF A PARCEL OF STATE LAND TO THE CATHERINE VIOLET HUBBARD FOUNDATION, INC.

The bill was amended to clarify the use of land conveyed to the Catherine Violet Hubbard Foundation, adding specific permitted uses (animal sanctuary, wildlife preserve, nature preservation) and expanding the types of facilities that can be financed with the land as security (educational barn, main facility, veterinary intake facility). The amendment also added a right of first refusal for the state and town of Newtown before the land can be sold in a foreclosure scenario.
