An Act DCR Skating Rink Leases

This bill requires the state to notify local municipalities before leasing out public ice skating rinks. It mandates that the state offer to lease these facilities to the host towns first, allowing them to negotiate terms for operation and maintenance. If a town agrees to negotiate within 30 days of receiving notice, the state and the town must immediately begin discussions on the lease agreement. The bill does not change who owns the rinks but establishes a process to give local communities the first opportunity to manage these state-owned assets.
