Bill > SB00549

This bill proposes to modify existing state statutes to require the Commissioner of Administrative Services to offer surplus state property to municipalities at no cost before making such property available for public sale. Specifically, the bill amends sections 4a-57a and 4b-21 of the general statutes to establish a new process where municipalities get first right of refusal on surplus state property without having to pay for it. This means that when the state determines it no longer needs certain property (such as buildings, land, or equipment), local municipalities will have the opportunity to claim and acquire that property at no expense, potentially helping towns save money on infrastructure or resources they might otherwise need to purchase. The bill aims to provide municipalities with a cost-effective way to obtain potentially useful state-owned assets that are no longer needed by the state government.
