SB 573 Connecticut Senate · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT PROHIBITING THE USE OF STATE FUNDS FOR STADIUMS FOR PROFESSIONAL SPORTS TEAMS.

SB 573 prohibits the use of state funds for constructing or renovating stadiums for professional sports teams. It directly affects state budget decisions by banning appropriations for such projects, preventing government spending on facilities for leagues like the NFL, NBA, or MLB. The bill amends statutes to explicitly forbid this funding, requiring state agencies to exclude stadium costs from budget requests. This policy change aims to prevent public funds from being used for private sports venues, as stated in its purpose.
