AN ACT IMPLEMENTING THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES REGARDING THE SCHOOL BUILDING PROJECTS STATUTES.

HB 6922 updates Connecticut's process for applying for state grants to build or renovate school facilities. It requires school districts to confirm they considered natural light, wireless technology, and school safety standards in project plans. Projects that assist in meeting desegregation requirements from the Sheff v. O'Neill case get extended deadlines for applications and approvals. This bill directly affects towns, school districts, and eligible colleges/magnet schools seeking these grants.
