Senate approves multiple land‑conveyances and routine calendar items; several bills marked 'go'
Summary
The Connecticut Senate on April 22 voted on a series of land conveyance bills and other calendar items, approving conveyances to local towns and authorities and marking multiple bills 'go' for later action; results and brief rationales are listed.
The Connecticut Senate handled a batch of conveyance and calendar items and approved several bills with short floor remarks.
- Senate Bill 518 (Middletown conveyance): amended to clarify permitted uses and the timing of the reverter clause; roll‑call: 36 total, 34 yes, 2 no. Supporters said clarification will allow the nonprofit Shiloh Baptist Community Development Corporation to pursue affordable or community uses; opponents raised fairness concerns about state property conveyed for administrative cost.
- Senate Bill 519 (Bridgeport Port Authority conveyance): sponsor said remediation costs justified a fixed price of $119,000 instead of a fair‑market appraisal; roll‑call: 36 yes, 0 no.
- Senate Bill 520 (town of Canton repeal of conveyance): sponsor described municipal need to consolidate properties for river access and events; roll‑call: 36 yes, 0 no.
- Senate Bill 523 (North Canaan transfer from DOT): authorized transfer for administrative cost to be used for open space or low‑impact recreation and included a reverter; roll‑call: 36 yes, 0 no.
Several other calendar items were marked "go" for consideration later in the session, and leadership directed referrals to the appropriate committees.
The clerk recorded each roll call on the floor as the Senate moved through the calendar.
