ConnecticutConnecticut law cancels the earlier act on Canton land
Special Act 26-3 cancels Special Act 24-20, which concerns transferring a parcel of Connecticut state land to the town of Canton.
What it does
Special Act 24-20, concerning a state land transfer to Canton, no longer applies. The law does not specify what happens to any transfer already completed.
Argument forRemoving the earlier land-transfer act could give the state more flexibility to decide how to handle the Canton parcel.
Argument againstCanton could lose a legal basis for pursuing the land transfer, making town plans that depended on the earlier act harder to carry out.
