AN ACT CONCERNING AUTHORIZATION OF STATE GRANT COMMITMENTS FOR SCHOOL BUILDING PROJECTS AND REVISIONS TO THE SCHOOL BUILDING PROJECT STATUTES.

HB 5150 authorizes the state to commit $220 million in grants for six specific school building projects in Milford, Norwich, Seymour, Stamford, Waterbury, and Westport, based on a priority list approved by a legislative committee. The bill also revises school construction statutes to increase reimbursement percentages for districts with enrollment growing 20% or more over 10 years, capping the increase at 100% of project costs. These changes affect eligible school districts by providing direct funding for building projects and adjusting reimbursement rules based on enrollment trends. The grants are effective from passage, while the enrollment-based reimbursement change takes effect July 1, 2026.
