Status: Signed by Governor (Special Act 25-25)
Bill Number: HB 7280
Introduced: April 30, 2025
Subject: Conveyances — transfer of state-owned land to the City of Danbury

Purpose / Intent

The bill authorizes the State to convey a specific parcel of state-owned land to the City of Danbury. Its primary intent is to transfer ownership and control of that parcel from the State to the municipal government so the city can use, develop, maintain, or otherwise manage the property for local public purposes.

Key Provisions

  • Authorizes a conveyance of a parcel of land currently owned by the State to the City of Danbury.
  • Enacts the transfer as a special act (listed as Special Act 25-25).
  • The bill text supplied here does not include detailed legal terms of the conveyance (e.g., exact parcel description, purchase price or consideration, conditions on use, easements, or liability/indemnification language). Those specifics are typically detailed in the full enrolled act or deed instruments.

Who Is Affected

  • City of Danbury: gains title to the parcel and responsibility for its future use, upkeep, and any related municipal obligations.
  • State agencies that previously managed or held title to the parcel: removal of the property from the State’s real property inventory.
  • Local residents and property users: potential impacts depend on the city’s planned use (e.g., park, redevelopment, municipal facility).
  • State and municipal budgets: minimal direct fiscal effect typically associated with title transfer unless the conveyance includes payment, maintenance obligations, or removal of liabilities; the Office of Fiscal Analysis was referred for review.
