AN ACT ESTABLISHING A TASK FORCE ON AFFORDABLE AND MIDDLE HOUSING.

HB 5369 establishes a task force to study how affordability is calculated in housing appeals, specifically examining the current 10% threshold that determines when affordable housing appeals are unavailable under state law. The task force, composed of housing experts, municipal representatives, and legislative leaders, will evaluate this threshold and propose alternatives by January 1, 2027. It directly affects housing developers, municipalities, and affordable housing advocates who navigate the appeals process under section 8-30g of the general statutes. The bill does not change existing law but creates a process for reviewing the affordability calculation method.
