CT SB00292

Expands the definition of eligible public-private partnership projects to include education facilities, utility and telecommunications infrastructure, recreational facilities, technology infrastructure, wireless broadband deployment, and solid waste management facilities that produce electric energy.

Removes the previous limit of five approved projects by the Governor and the January 1, 2020 deadline, allowing ongoing approval of public-private partnerships that will result in job creation and economic growth.

Eliminates the requirement that state support not exceed 25 percent of project costs and removes the revenue generation threshold previously required for facility eligibility.

Removes a term limit restriction that capped partnership agreements at 50 years and allows agreements to continue without a maximum duration cap.

Requires all public-private partnership projects to comply with prevailing wage requirements, environmental policy, small contractor set-aside programs, and applicable local permitting and inspection requirements, effective October 1, 2018.
