AN ACT CONCERNING WATER MAIN GRANTS AND FILING EXTENSIONS FOR CERTAIN GRAND LIST EXEMPTIONS.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Assembly convened:
Section 1. Subsection (b) of section 22a-471 of the 2016 supplement to the general statutes is amended by adding subdivision (9) as follows (Effective from passage):
(NEW) (9) Notwithstanding any provision of this section and the cost sharing formula established in section 22a-471-1 of the regulations of Connecticut state agencies, for any area of a municipality that is adjacent to a site listed on the State of Connecticut Superfund Priority List where a water line extension component to such project has been installed by a municipal or private water company, the minimum size water main required to address pollution may be upgraded in order to carry fire flow or address public water supply needs that are consistent with an adopted plan of conservation and development and the municipality shall only be responsible to pay the incremental project cost, which may be funded by such water company, another person or available local, state or federal funds.
Sec. 2. (Effective from passage) Notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraph (A) of subdivision (7) of section 12-81 of the general statutes and section 12-87a of the general statutes, any person otherwise eligible for a 2014 grand list exemption pursuant to said subdivision (7) in the city of New Britain, except that such person failed to file the required statement within the time period prescribed, shall be regarded as having filed such statement in a timely manner if such person files such statement not later than thirty days after the effective date of this section and pays the late filing fee pursuant to section 12-87a of the general statutes. Upon confirmation of the receipt of such fee and verification of the exemption eligibility of such property, the assessor shall approve the exemption for such property. If taxes, interest or penalties have been paid on the property for which such exemption is approved, the city of New Britain shall reimburse such person in an amount equal to the amount by which such taxes, interest and penalties exceed any taxes payable if the statement had been filed in a timely manner.
