On a voice vote the amendment was adopted.

The Speaker ruled the amendment was technical.

The following is House Amendment Schedule "A" (LCO 4711):

Strike everything after the enacting clause and substitute the following in lieu thereof:

"Section 1. Section 16a-4c of the general statutes is repealed and the following is substituted in lieu thereof (Effective from passage):

(a) On or before January 1, [2012] 2014, and at least every twenty years thereafter, the Secretary of the Office of Policy and Management, within available appropriations, and in consultation with regional planning organizations, as defined in section 4-124i, the Connecticut Conference of Municipalities, the Connecticut Council of Small Towns and the chairpersons and ranking members of the joint standing committee of the General Assembly having cognizance of matters relating to planning and development, shall conduct an analysis of the boundaries of logical planning regions designated or redesignated under section 16a-4a. As part of such analysis, the secretary shall [develop criteria to evaluate the impact of urban centers on neighboring towns] evaluate opportunities for coordinated planning and the regional delivery of state and local services. Such [criteria] analysis shall include, but not be limited to, [criteria to (1) evaluate trends in economic development and the environment, including trends in housing patterns, employment levels, commuting patterns for the most common job classifications in the state, traffic patterns on major roadways, and local perceptions of social and historic ties; and (2)] an evaluation of (1) economic regions, including regional economic development districts established pursuant to chapter 588ff; (2) comprehensive economic development strategies developed by such regional economic development districts; (3) labor market areas and workforce investment regions; (4) natural boundaries, including watersheds, coastlines, ecosystems and habitats; (5) relationships between urban, suburban and rural areas, including central cities and areas outside of the state; (6) census and other demographic information; (7) political boundaries, including municipal boundaries and congressional, senate and assembly districts; (8) transportation corridors, connectivity and boundaries, including the boundaries of metropolitan planning agencies; (9) current federal, state and municipal service delivery regions, including, but not limited to, regions established to provide emergency, health, transportation or human services; and (10) the current capacity of each regional planning organization to deliver diverse state and local services. Such analysis shall also establish a minimum size for logical planning areas that takes into consideration the number of municipalities, total population, [and the] total square mileage and whether the proposed planning region will have the capacity to successfully deliver necessary regional services. The secretary may enter into such contractual agreements as may be necessary to carry out the purposes of this subsection.

(b) (1) The secretary shall, not later than January 1, [2012] 2014, notify the chief executive officer of each municipality located in a planning region in which the boundaries are proposed for redesignation. If the legislative body of the municipality objects to such proposed redesignation, the chief executive officer of the municipality may, not later than thirty days after the date of receipt of the notice of redesignation, petition the secretary to attend a meeting of such legislative body. The petition shall specify the location, date and time of the meeting. The meeting shall be held not later than [forty-five] sixty days after the date of the petition. The secretary shall make a reasonable attempt to appear at the meeting, or at a meeting on another date within the [forty-five-day] sixty-day period. If the secretary is unable to attend a meeting within the [forty-five-day] sixty-day period, the secretary and the chief executive officer of the municipality shall jointly schedule a date and time for the meeting, provided such meeting shall be held not later than [one hundred twenty] two hundred ten days after the date of the notice to the chief executive officer. At such meeting, the legislative body of the municipality shall inform the secretary of the objections to the proposed redesignation of the planning area boundaries. The secretary shall consider fully the oral and written objections of the legislative body and may redesignate the boundaries. Not later than [forty-five] sixty days after the date of the meeting, the secretary shall notify the chief executive officer of the determination concerning the proposed redesignation. The notice of determination shall include the reasons for such determination. As used in this subsection, "municipality" means a town, city or consolidated town and borough; "legislative body" means the board of selectmen, town council, city council, board of alderman, board of directors, board of representatives or board of the [major] warden and burgesses of a municipality; and "secretary" means the [secretary] Secretary of the Office of Policy and Management or the designee of the secretary.

(2) Any revision to the boundaries of a planning area, based on the analysis completed pursuant to subsection (a) of this section or due to a modification by the secretary in accordance with this subsection, shall be effective on [the first day of July following the date of completion such analysis or modification] January 1, 2015.

Sec. 2. Section 4-66k of the 2012 supplement to the general statutes is repealed and the following is substituted in lieu thereof (Effective July 1, 2012):

There is established an account to be known as the "regional performance incentive account" which shall be a separate, nonlapsing account within the General Fund. The account shall contain any moneys required by law to be deposited in the account. Moneys in the account shall be expended by the Secretary of the Office of Policy and Management for the purposes of (1) providing grants under the regional performance incentive program established pursuant to section 4-124s, and (2) providing funding to the Voluntary Regional Consolidation Bonus Pool established pursuant to subsection (b) of section 4-124q, as amended by this act.

Sec. 3. Section 4-124q of the 2012 supplement to the general statutes is repealed and the following is substituted in lieu thereof (Effective July 1, 2012):

(a) There shall annually be paid to each regional planning agency organized under the provisions of chapter 127, each regional council of governments organized under the provisions of this chapter, and each regional council of elected officials organized under the provisions of this chapter in any planning region without a regional planning agency, from any appropriation for such purpose, a grant-in-aid equal to (1) five and three-tenths per cent of any such appropriation plus (2) for each agency or council which raises local dues in excess of five and three-tenths per cent of any such appropriation, an additional grant in an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying any appropriation available for the purpose of this subdivision by the following fraction: The amount of dues raised by such agency or council pursuant to section 8-34a, section 4-124f or section 4-124p in excess of five and three-tenths of any such appropriation shall be the numerator. The amount of such dues raised by each such agency or council in excess of five and three-tenths per cent of any such appropriation shall be added together and the sum shall be the denominator.

(b) There is established a Voluntary Regional Consolidation Bonus Pool to be administered by the Secretary of the Office of Policy and Management and funded by moneys received from the regional performance incentive account established in section 4-66k, as amended by this act. In addition to the annual payment to each regional planning agency under subsection (a) of this section, there shall be an additional payment made from said bonus pool to any two or more regional planning agencies, regional councils of governments or regional council of elected officials in any planning region without a regional planning agency, or any such combination thereof, that have (1) voted to merge forming a new regional council of governments or regional council of elected officials within a proposed or newly redesignated planning region boundary, and (2) submitted to said secretary a request for redesignation pursuant to subdivision (4) of section 16a-4a. Payments from said bonus pool shall be made to offset any and all reasonable costs, as determined by the secretary, associated with any such voluntary consolidation. Prior to issuing any payment pursuant to this subsection, the secretary shall review and approve each proposed consolidation to determine that such proposed consolidation is an appropriate and sustainable redesignated planning region. For the fiscal years ending June 30, 2012, and June 30, 2013, a payment shall be made under [subsection (a) of this section to] this subsection to any such approved consolidated planning region [,] on a first-come, first-served basis. [, from any appropriation available for such purpose and until such time as the appropriation for the fiscal year has been exhausted] For the fiscal years ending June 30, 2013, June 30, 2014, and June 30, 2015, the secretary shall make a supplemental payment from said bonus pool, within available appropriations, to any regional council of governments or regional council of elected officials that is created in one of said fiscal years by consolidating two or more regional councils of governments, regional councils of elected officials or regional planning agencies, provided such consolidated regional council of governments or regional council of elected officials contains a combined total of fourteen or more municipalities. Such supplemental payment shall be equal to fifty per cent of the payment made pursuant to this subsection to offset the reasonable costs of voluntary consolidation. The secretary may waive the requirement that a consolidated regional council of governments or regional council of elected officials contain a combined total of fourteen or more municipalities. "

This act shall take effect as follows and shall amend the following sections:

[; provided, any such financial assistance to be funded with proceeds of bonds authorized by public or special acts effective on or after July 1, 1995, shall be provided as set forth in this section. Commencing October 1, 1995, upon preliminary approval of the State Bond Commission pursuant to the provisions of section 3-20, the state, acting by and through the department may provide a grant-in-aid to the authority for purposes of permitting the authority to extend state financial assistance to a developer or mortgagor of the authority in the form of grants-in-aid or deferred loans to housing projects financed by the authority through means of a loan secured by a first mortgage. ] Such grants or deferred loans made to a developer or mortgagor of the authority under this section shall be for construction or rehabilitation of developments containing rental units. The total amount of such grants or deferred loans awarded to a single project shall not exceed an amount equal to one-half of the cost of the project divided by the number of rental units in the project multiplied by the number of low-income units in the project. The total number of low-income units in any project receiving financial assistance under this section shall be not less than twenty per cent and [, for projects receiving assistance prior to October 1, 1995, and for projects receiving assistance from the proceeds of bonds authorized by public or special acts effective prior to July 1, 1995,] shall not be more than forty per cent of the total number of rental units in the project. No project receiving financial assistance under this section shall contain less than twenty-five rental units.

Any commitment to provide such subsidy shall be an obligation of the state or the authority, as the case may be, for a period of not less than fifteen years, and the amount of such subsidy shall be equal to the difference between the amount of rent plus an allowance for heat and utilities not included in the rent approved by the commissioner or the authority, as the case may be, and thirty per cent of the annual aggregate family income of the tenant residing in the low-income unit for each such unit on an annual basis. The rent charged for a low-income unit may not be increased without the approval of the commissioner or the authority, as the case may be. The annual aggregate family income of a tenant for the year prior to the occupancy of a low-income unit by the tenant shall not exceed fifty per cent of the area median income, adjusted for family size, as determined by the commissioner or the authority, as the case may be. If such annual aggregate family income after occupancy exceeds seventy per cent of the area median income, adjusted for family size, the unit occupied by the tenant will no longer be considered a low-income unit and the next available unit will be rented to a tenant with an aggregate family income of less than fifty per cent of the area median income, adjusted for family size. No tenant residing in a project will receive financial assistance through a rental subsidy certificate under this section if the aggregate family income of the tenant in the prior year exceeds sixty per cent of the area median income, adjusted for family size.

Sec. 4. Section 8-403 of the general statutes is repealed and the following is substituted in lieu thereof (Effective July 1, 2012):

Upon preliminary approval by the State Bond Commission pursuant to the provisions of section 3-20, the state, acting by and through the [Department] Commissioner of Economic and Community Development, may enter into a contract with a developer, the authority [to provide] or a mortgagor of the authority for state financial assistance [to a mortgagor of the authority] in the form of a loan secured by a second mortgage for any housing project for which the authority has provided financial assistance in the form of a loan secured by a first mortgage. [; provided any such financial assistance to be funded with proceeds of bonds authorized by public or special acts effective on or after July 1, 1995, shall be provided as follows: Commencing October 1, 1995, upon preliminary approval of the State Bond Commission pursuant to the provisions of section 3-20, the state, acting by and through the Department of Economic and Community Development may provide a grant-in-aid to the authority, for purposes of permitting the authority to extend state financial assistance to the developer or mortgagor of the authority in the form of a loan secured by a second mortgage for any housing project for which the authority has provided financial assistance in the form of a loan secured by a first mortgage. ] Such loan shall be made for the purpose of providing additional financing for the project. Any loan made under this section shall bear interest payable quarterly on the first days of January, April, July and October for the preceding calendar quarter, or at such other times as are determined by the commissioner or the authority, as the case may be, at a rate determined by the State Bond Commission under subsection (t) of section 3-20 and shall be repayable in such installments as may be determined by the commissioner or the authority, as the case may be, within fifty years from the date of completion of the project. Loan repayments shall be paid to the State Treasurer and deposited in the General Fund.

Sec. 5. Section 8-404 of the general statutes is repealed and the following is substituted in lieu thereof (Effective July 1, 2012):

Such financial participation shall be in a proportion which shall not be less than the proportion that the number of low-income units in the project bears to the total rental units in the project. Any sale of the project, any interest in the project or any of its units shall require the approval of the Commissioner of Economic and Community Development or the authority, as the case may be, and shall be made upon such terms and conditions as the commissioner or the authority, as the case may be, may approve.

Sec. 6. Section 8-405 of the general statutes is repealed and the following is substituted in lieu thereof (Effective July 1, 2012):

The proceeds from the sale of any bonds issued for the purposes of sections 8-401, as amended by this act, and 8-403, as amended by this act, issued pursuant to any authorization, allocation or approval of the State Bond Commission made [prior to July 1, 1990] after July 1, 2012, and of any notes issued in anticipation thereof as may be required for such purposes shall be applied to the payment of the principal of any such notes then outstanding and unpaid, and the remaining proceeds of any such sale shall be deposited in [a fund designated as the "Private Rental Investment Mortgage and Equity Fund" which fund shall be used to make loans or grants authorized by sections 8-401 and 8-403] the Housing Repayment and Revolving Loan Fund established pursuant to section 8-37qq. Payments [from the Private Rental Investment Mortgage and Equity Fund] to the developer, [or] the authority or the mortgagor of the authority shall be made from said fund by the State Treasurer on certification of the Commissioner of Economic and Community Development in accordance with the contract for financial assistance between the state and the authority, [or] the developer or the mortgagor of the authority. All payments of state service charges for any housing project as authorized by the commissioner financed from the proceeds of the state's general obligation bonds issued pursuant to any authorization, allocation or approval of the State Bond Commission made [prior to July 1, 1990] after July 1, 2012, shall be paid to the State Treasurer for deposit in said fund. Subject to the approval of the Governor, any expense incurred by the state in connection with the carrying out of the provisions of this chapter, including the hiring of necessary employees and entering upon necessary contracts, may be paid from [the Private Rental Investment Mortgage and Equity Fund] the Housing Repayment and Revolving Loan Fund.

Sec. 7. Subsection (b) of section 8-126 of the general statutes is repealed and the following is substituted in lieu thereof (Effective from passage):

(b) The legislative body of any municipality may dissolve an agency authorized under subsection (a) of this section upon determination that such action would facilitate receipt and processing of federal funds and promote the purposes of this chapter. [Upon] In the event a redevelopment agency to be dissolved has undertaken a project to which the state has contributed financial or other assistance, the legislative body of such municipality shall forward a request for approval to dissolve such agency to the Department of Economic and Community Development. Upon receipt of such request, the department shall report, in accordance with the provisions of section 11-4a, to the joint standing committee of the General Assembly having cognizance of matters relating to commerce (1) the nature and amounts of such financial assistance, (2) the department's preliminary decision to approve or disapprove such municipality's request, and (3) any other conditions on which such an approval would be based. Within thirty days of receipt of such report, the committee shall advise the department whether said committee agrees or disagrees with the department's preliminary decision and the reasons therefore. If the committee does not provide such advice within thirty days, the department shall proceed to issue its final decision to the legislative body of the municipality. If the department approves such dissolution, the legislative body may designate or create a new redevelopment agency in accordance with the procedure set forth in said subsection (a).

Sec. 8. Section 8-42 of the general statutes is repealed and the following is substituted in lieu thereof (Effective from passage):

(a) No commissioner or an executive or managerial employee of an authority shall acquire any interest, direct or indirect, in any housing project or in any property included or planned to be included in any project, nor shall he have any interest, direct or indirect, in any contract or proposed contract for materials or services to be furnished or used in connection with any housing project. If any commissioner or employee of an authority owns or controls an interest, direct or indirect, in any property included or planned to be included in any housing project, he shall immediately disclose the same in writing to the authority and such disclosure shall be entered upon the minutes of the authority. Failure so to disclose such interest shall constitute misconduct in office. Occupancy of a dwelling unit owned by the housing authority or enrolled in a program of housing authority assistance to low-income families in private accommodations shall not be deemed an interest in any project or in a contract for materials or services or in property included in any project for the purposes of this section.

(b) No person who has served as a commissioner of an authority shall be employed by such authority for a period of two years after leaving office. The provisions of this subsection shall not apply to a commissioner who has served for more than twenty years for a housing authority which does not have an executive director. "

The following bill was taken from the table, read the third time, the report of the committee indicated accepted and the bill passed.

GOVERNMENT ADMINISTRATION AND ELECTIONS. H. B. No. 5533 (RAISED) (File No. 495) AN ACT CONCERNING VACANCIES IN CERTAIN TOWN OFFICES AND MINORITY REPRESENTATION.

The bill was explained by Representative Morin of the 28th who offered House Amendment Schedule "A" (LCO 4565) and moved its adoption.

The amendment was discussed by Representatives Hwang of the 134th, Chapin of the 67th, Srinivasan of the 31st, Labriola of the 131st, Aman of the 14th and Davis of the 57th.

On a voice vote the amendment was adopted.

The Speaker ruled the amendment was technical.

The following is House Amendment Schedule "A" (LCO 4565):

Strike everything after the enacting clause and substitute the following in lieu thereof:

"Section 1. Section 9-164 of the general statutes is amended by adding subsection (d) as follows (Effective July 1, 2012):

(NEW) (d) (1) Notwithstanding any provision of this title or title 7 or any town charter or ordinance for any municipality that holds a municipal election in November of odd-numbered years pursuant to the provisions of this section, such municipality shall include on the ballot for the November election any unexpired term of any elective office for a position on a municipal board, commission, committee or body that is vacant for any cause on August fifteenth prior to the November election. For any such unexpired term, a town committee may endorse a candidate and the presiding officer and secretary of the town committee shall certify the nomination to the town clerk not later than August thirtieth prior to the November election. No primary shall be held for the nomination of any political party to fill any vacancy in such office and the party-endorsed candidate so certified shall be deemed the nominee of such party. Nominations may also be made by petition in the manner provided in section 9-379 and sections 9-453a to 9-453p, inclusive, which petitions shall be submitted to the town clerk of the town in which the signers reside not later than the thirty-sixth day before the day of the election and filed in the office of the Secretary of the State not later than two days after submission to the town clerk.

(2) The provisions of subdivision (1) of this subsection shall only apply if, on August fifteenth prior to the November election, no appointment has been made to fill such vacancy and no special election is in process to fill such vacancy pursuant to the provisions of this title, title 7 or the town charter or an ordinance of the municipality, but shall not apply to any vacancy on the legislative body of a municipality or the local or regional board of education for a municipality.

Sec. 2. Subsection (d) of section 9-167a of the general statutes is repealed and the following is substituted in lieu thereof (Effective July 1, 2012):

(d) If an unexpired portion of a term is to be filled at the same time as a full term, the [unexpired] full term shall be [deemed to be] filled before the [full] unexpired term for purposes of [applying this section] determining whether the maximum number of members of a particular party has been met. At such time as the minority representation provisions of this section become applicable to any board, commission, committee or body, any vacancy thereafter occurring which is to be filled by appointment shall be filled by the appointment of a member of the same political party as that of the vacating member. "

This act shall take effect as follows and shall amend the following sections:

Section 1

July 1, 2012

9-164

Sec. 2

July 1, 2012

9-167a(d)

The amendment was discussed by Representative Hetherington of the 125th.

On a voice vote the amendment was adopted.

The Speaker ruled the amendment was technical.

The following is House Amendment Schedule "A" (LCO 4477):

Change the effective date of section 2 to "Effective October 1, 2012, and applicable to all actions pending on or filed on or after said date"

Strike section 3 in its entirety and substitute the following in lieu thereof:

"Sec. 3. Section 52-174 of the general statutes is repealed and the following is substituted in lieu thereof (Effective October 1, 2012, and applicable to all actions pending on or filed on or after said date):

(a) In all actions for the recovery of damages for personal injuries or death, (1) if a physician licensed under chapter 370, dentist licensed under chapter 379, chiropractor licensed under chapter 372, natureopath licensed under chapter 373, physical therapist licensed under chapter 376, podiatrist licensed under chapter 375, psychologist licensed under chapter 383, emergency medical technician certified under chapter 368d, optometrist licensed under chapter 380, physician assistant licensed under chapter 370, advanced practice registered nurse licensed under chapter 378, professional engineer licensed under chapter 391 or land surveyor licensed under chapter 391 has died prior to the trial of the action, or (2) if [a] such physician, dentist, chiropractor, natureopath, physical therapist, podiatrist, psychologist, emergency medical technician, optometrist, physician assistant, advanced practice registered nurse, professional engineer or land surveyor is physically or mentally disabled at the time of the trial of the action to such an extent that such person is no longer actively engaged in the practice of the profession, the party desiring to offer into evidence the written records and reports of the physician, dentist, chiropractor, natureopath, physical therapist, podiatrist, psychologist, emergency medical technician, optometrist, physician assistant or advanced practice registered nurse concerning the patient who suffered the injuries or death, or the reports and scale drawings of the professional engineer or land surveyor concerning matters relevant to the circumstances under which the injuries or death was sustained shall apply to the court in which the action is pending for permission to introduce the evidence. Notice of the application shall be served on the adverse party in the same manner as any other pleading. The court to which the application is made shall determine whether the person is disabled to the extent that the person cannot testify in person in the action. Upon the court finding that the person is so disabled, the matters shall be admissible in evidence as a business entry in accordance with the provisions of section 52-180 when offered by any party in the trial of the action.

(b) In all actions for the recovery of damages for personal injuries or death, pending on October 1, 1977, or brought thereafter, and in all court proceedings in family relations matters, as defined in section 46b-1, or in the Family Support Magistrate Division, pending on October 1, 1998, or brought thereafter, and in all other civil actions pending on October 1, 2001, or brought thereafter, any party offering in evidence a signed report and bill for treatment of any treating [physician, dentist, chiropractor, natureopath, physical therapist, podiatrist, psychologist, emergency medical technician, optometrist, physician assistant or advanced practice registered nurse] physician or physician assistant licensed under chapter 370, dentist licensed under chapter 379, chiropractor licensed under chapter 372, natureopath licensed under chapter 373, physical therapist licensed under chapter 376, podiatrist licensed under chapter 375, psychologist licensed under chapter 383, an emergency medical technician certified under chapter 368d, optometrist licensed under chapter 380 or advanced practice registered nurse licensed under chapter 378, may have the report and bill admitted into evidence as a business entry and it shall be presumed that the signature on the report is that of [the] such treating physician, physician assistant, dentist, chiropractor, natureopath, physical therapist, podiatrist, psychologist, emergency medical technician, optometrist [, physician assistant] or advanced practice registered nurse and that the report and bill were made in the ordinary course of business. The use of any such report or bill in lieu of the testimony of such treating physician, physician assistant, dentist, chiropractor, natureopath, physical therapist, podiatrist, psychologist, emergency medical technician, optometrist [, physician assistant] or advanced practice registered nurse shall not give rise to any adverse inference concerning the testimony or lack of testimony of such treating physician, physician assistant, dentist, chiropractor, natureopath, physical therapist, podiatrist, psychologist, emergency medical technician, optometrist [, physician assistant] or advanced practice registered nurse. In any action to which this section applies, the total amount of any bill generated by such physician, physician assistant, dentist, chiropractor, natureopath, physical therapist, podiatrist, psychologist, emergency medical technician, optometrist or advanced practice registered nurse shall be admissible in evidence on the issue of the cost of reasonable and necessary medical care. The calculation of the total amount of the bill shall not be reduced because such physician, physician assistant, dentist, chiropractor, natureopath, physical therapist, podiatrist, psychologist, emergency medical technician, optometrist or advanced practice registered nurse accepts less than the total amount of the bill or because an insurer pays less than the total amount of the bill.

(c) This section shall not be construed as prohibiting either party or the court from calling the treating physician, dentist, chiropractor, natureopath, physical therapist, podiatrist, psychologist, emergency medical technician, optometrist, physician assistant or advanced practice registered nurse as a witness for purposes that include, but are not limited to, providing testimony on the reasonableness of a bill for treatment generated by such physician, dentist, chiropractor, natureopath, physical therapist, podiatrist, psychologist, emergency medical technician, optometrist, physician assistant or advanced practice registered nurse.

Such pilot program shall remain in effect until such time as regulations are adopted pursuant to subsection (a) of this section.

(d) [Any] Until such time as regulations are adopted pursuant to subsection (a) of this section, any person may import one or more reindeer into the state during the period commencing on Thanksgiving Day of each year and ending on the immediately following New Year's Day, provided (1) any reindeer so imported is subsequently exported from the state no later than a week following the end of such period, and (2) such importation complies with the following requirements: Each reindeer so imported (A) is individually identified by a permanent metal ear tag, legible tattoo or microchip, (B) possesses a certified veterinary report of inspection documenting an inspection that occurred at least one day and not more than thirty days prior to entry into the state, (C) possesses documentation that verifies such reindeer (i) comes from a herd that is free of both tuberculosis and brucellosis, or (ii) tested negative for tuberculosis and brucellosis at least one day and not more than thirty days prior to entry into the state, and (D) possesses documentation that the originating herd participated in a state chronic wasting disease monitoring program (i) not less than the prior three years if from a state or province not known to have chronic wasting disease, or (ii) not less than the prior five years if from a state or province known to have chronic wasting disease outbreaks.
