CT HB05510

Repeals and replaces Section 4b-21 of the general statutes effective October 1, 2010, governing how state agencies dispose of surplus property.

Requires state agencies to notify the Secretary of the Office of Policy and Management six months in advance when land, improvements, or property interests are no longer needed.

Mandates the Secretary obtain a cost-benefit analysis documenting direct and indirect costs, savings, and benefits before determining whether to retain, sell, exchange, or lease surplus property, with results provided to relevant legislative committees.

Requires notification to municipalities, General Assembly members, and potential developers, plus approval from the Secretary, State Properties Review Board, and joint legislative committees before surplus property can be conveyed; conveyance attempts must be resubmitted if not completed within three years or approved within five years.

Exempts land acquired by the Commissioner of Environmental Protection under the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) from the disposition requirements.
