Extending Deadline to Transfer Hamden State Land

Last scannedAug 25, 2026, 6:19 AM

In one sentence

This law changes an earlier rule by giving officials one more year, until June 30, 2027, to finish transferring a specific piece of state land in Hamden.

What it does

  • Changes the deadline for conveying state-owned land to the Town of Hamden from June 30, 2026, to June 30, 2027.
  • Allows the town and a state commissioner to agree on one extra six-month extension if needed after that date.
  • Requires the town to pay for any actual costs caused by an additional time extension.
  • Keeps the land under state control until the transfer is officially completed.

Who it affects

  • The Town of Hamden
  • The Commissioner of Administrative Services
  • The Commissioner of Children and Families
  • The State Properties Review Board

Limits and unknowns

  • The law does not specify what will happen if no extension is granted and the deadline passes, other than stating the land shall not be conveyed under this section.
  • The effective date for this change depends on when it was signed.
