AN ACT CONCERNING THE METROPOLITAN DISTRICT OF HARTFORD COUNTY.

HB 6540 requires the Hartford County Metropolitan District Commission to undergo annual audits by state auditors, form a task force to review its operations, and adopt a model ethics code for all member municipalities and special districts. It also permits commissioners from nonmember municipalities to vote on water rates affecting those areas. The bill directly impacts the Commission’s governance, financial oversight, and decision-making processes for municipalities and special districts within Hartford County. These changes aim to increase transparency and accountability in the Commission’s management of public services.
