HB6441 expands the authority of municipal flood and erosion control boards to include “climate resilience;” broadens the Connecticut Green Banks’s duties and creates an Environmental Infrastructure Fund; and authorizes all municipalities to establish a municipal stormwater authority and increases the authorities’ powers to assess fees.
The Senate passed HB6441 on June 7, 2021, by a vote of 26 to 10. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this bill further infringes on the property rights of Connecticut homeowners by expanding the role of state and local government and authorizing tax hikes in the name of human-caused “climate change.”
