Bill > HB05042

This bill seeks to modify Connecticut's existing affordable housing law (specifically section 8-30g) by expanding the definition of "municipality" to include villages. Currently, the law likely defines municipalities more narrowly, potentially excluding villages from certain provisions related to affordable housing land use appeals. By adding villages to the definition, the bill would ensure that villages have the same rights and responsibilities as other municipal entities when it comes to affordable housing development and related land use appeals procedures. This change could potentially provide more opportunities for affordable housing development in village areas and give village governments more control and input in the process. The bill aims to create a more inclusive approach to addressing housing needs by recognizing villages as full participants in the affordable housing planning and appeals process.
