HB 5908 Connecticut House · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT CONCERNING THE REVISION OF THE HARBOR MANAGEMENT ACT.

HB 5908 revises Connecticut's Harbor Management Act to clarify that municipalities retain the right to determine authorized uses (like development or activities) in areas managed by harbor commissions. It directly affects local governments by strengthening their role in decisions about harbor-area projects. The bill responds to recent court rulings that limited municipal participation in such decisions, aiming to restore clarity through specific statutory changes. This is a procedural update to existing law, not a new program.
