Connecticut General Statutes Title 18. Correctional Institutions and Department of Correction § 18-31b. Gratuitous transfer of abandoned facilities to municipalities or municipal redevelopment agencies. Payment to state upon transfer

(a) Whenever any community correctional center and the land used in connection therewith is no longer needed as a place for penal or correctional purposes, the Community Correctional Center Administrator shall certify to the State Treasurer, the Commissioner of Administrative Services and the Secretary of the Office of Policy and Management, not later than six months thereafter, that such facility and land are not required for penal or correctional purposes. If at any time thereafter the Commissioner of Administrative Services and the Secretary of the Office of Policy and Management and the State Treasurer jointly certify that such property or any portion thereof is surplus and not needed for any other purpose of the state, the Commissioner of Administrative Services shall forthwith and gratuitously transfer such property to (1) the municipality in which the facility and land are situated, provided the municipality by vote of its legislative body shall first accept such property and a resolution of such action verified by the clerk of the municipality shall be delivered to the Commissioner of Administrative Services, or (2) the redevelopment agency of the municipality if the land is situated or included in a redevelopment area of the municipality, upon request to the Commissioner of Administrative Services by such agency, without restriction as to municipal use; if the transfer has been made, the municipal use restriction shall be removed by appropriate release from the Commissioner of Administrative Services. If such property is not transferred to such municipality or the redevelopment agency thereof, such property shall be sold according to regular procedure. No separate residential dwelling unit or the land on which it is situated owned by the state and used or formerly used by community correctional center administration personnel of any abandoned community correctional center shall be included in the conveyance of community correctional center facilities to the municipality, but such residential property may be sold by the state after certification to the Commissioner of Administrative Services by the Community Correctional Center Administrator that the property is no longer needed for housing of community correctional center administration personnel.

(b) If such land or any interest therein is transferred by the municipality or by the redevelopment agency of such municipality, one-half of the transfer price shall be remitted to the state.
