AN ACT CONVEYING A PARCEL OF STATE LAND TO THE TOWN OF HAMDEN AND REPEALING A PRIOR CONVEYANCE.
HB 7285 transfers a specific parcel of state-owned land to the Town of Hamden, Connecticut. It also cancels an earlier land transfer agreement that previously conveyed the same property. The bill's key mechanism is the formal legal transfer (conveyance) of the land title from the state to the town, replacing the prior arrangement. This bill was signed into law by the Governor on July 1, 2025, finalizing the land transfer to Hamden.

MINOR
The bill was reclassified from a 'Raised Bill' to a 'Substitute Bill' with a more descriptive title that now includes repealing a prior conveyance. The most significant substantive change is the correction of the conveyance price from one million five hundred dollars to one million five hundred thousand dollars, and the addition of a specific deadline of June 30, 2026, for completing the land transfer to the Town of Hamden.
Scope change
The bill's scope was expanded to include the repeal of a previous conveyance agreement that had already expired, ensuring the state can properly execute the new transfer.
FISCAL
The purchase price for the land parcel was increased from $1,500,000 to $1,500,000 (the original text was ambiguous, likely missing 'thousand').
TIMELINE
A new deadline of June 30, 2026, was established for the Commissioner of Administrative Services to complete the land conveyance, with a provision to extend this deadline by up to six months upon mutual agreement.
SCOPE
The bill title was updated to explicitly state that it conveys state land and repeals a prior conveyance, clarifying its dual purpose.
