## Summary

## Bill overview: provisions PRIA read

- Climate projects must replace affordable homes: benefit, medium. Beginning July 1, 2025, resilience projects that demolish or reduce affordable housing must provide replacement homes within four years. The town, developer, owner, or a third party must commit to replacement within the district. If that is not feasible, replacement must be reasonably nearby. Nearb…
- Home sellers must disclose flood risks: benefit, low. Beginning July 1, 2025, required residential condition reports include new flood-risk questions for sellers. They cover mapped floodplain status, disaster aid, current flood insurance, elevation certificates, flood claims, and water damage or seepage. Reports must explain federal flood-insurance re…
- New flood notices for insurance and mortgages: benefit, low. Beginning July 1, 2026, insurers must give homeowners and renters a flood notice when issuing or renewing coverage. The commissioner-approved notice explains that standard policies exclude flood losses and describes eligibility and access to separate flood insurance. Mortgage creditors must provide…
- Emergency plans must address climate threats: benefit, low. Beginning October 1, 2027, town evacuation and hazard plans must address sea-level threats to transportation, critical infrastructure, and land uses. Plans must identify actions and capital projects addressing heavier rain, flooding, sea-level rise, and extreme heat. Towns may work regionally and m…
- Regional and state plans address climate risks: benefit, low. Regional councils must continue updating development plans at least every 10 years. Plans adopted on or after October 1, 2025, must align with regional transportation and hazard-mitigation plans. They must map critical facilities' locations, addresses, and general functions, and share those records…
- Town growth plans must address climate risks: benefit, low. Municipal development plans adopted on or after October 1, 2027, must use the latest federal and state climate and hazard projections. They must assess climate weaknesses, identify responses, and include mapped data. Plans must identify infrastructure needed for evacuation and daily life during dis…
- Towns gain climate-ready infrastructure funding options: benefit, low. Beginning July 1, 2025, towns may use reserve funds to plan, build, rebuild, or acquire specific climate-resilient capital improvements. Spending needs a budget-authority recommendation and local legislative approval; towns are not required to spend reserves. Towns may also use the $12.5 million an…
- Water planning must use climate projections: benefit, low. The next state water-plan update must consider climate effects on water quality and supply. The Water Planning Council must use past conditions and future temperature and rainfall projections to assess surface and groundwater supplies. The plan must recommend steps and an implementation plan to red…
- New climate safeguards for local development: benefit, low. Beginning October 1, 2027, town zoning must address sea-level harms using the latest state projections. Towns may also adopt heat, drought, and heavy-rain protections or offer incentives for flood-safe construction. Beginning October 1, 2025, coastal plans in FEMA V, VE, A, AE, or Limit of Moderate…
- Towns can share development-rights banks: benefit, low. Beginning July 1, 2025, two or more towns with a cross-boundary development-rights agreement may create a shared bank. Their approved agreement must identify sending and receiving sites and set operating rules and transfer ratios. Receiving sites must qualify for public water connections, be within…
- District property owners may face charges: cost, medium. Beginning July 1, 2025, towns may charge district property owners a share of improvements benefiting their property, including financing costs. Before setting an assessment, towns must hold a public hearing, give notice, and allow objections. Payments may be spread over as many as 50 years. Charges…
- New limits on pesticides and rat poisons: mixed, low. By January 1, 2026, Connecticut must classify rat poisons containing brodifacoum, bromadiolone, difenacoum, or difethialone as restricted-use pesticides. Beginning October 1, 2027, the law generally bans neonicotinoid pesticide use on plants. On request, the environmental commissioner can allow use…
- Towns gain climate project financing districts: mixed, low. Beginning July 1, 2025, towns may approve resilience districts and master plans together; neighboring towns may form joint districts. A charter ban blocks creation, and districts must meet hazard, planning, land-use, flood-safety, and assessed-value requirements. Plans can fund resilience, environm…
- Towns can borrow for climate districts: mixed, low. Beginning July 1, 2025, towns may dedicate taxes from district property-value growth to separate project accounts. All related tax-increment revenue must be deposited annually, paying debt service before project costs; accounts require annual independent audits. Spending is limited to authorized di…
