Legislative History

(P.A. 11-44, S. 117.) History: P.A. 11-44 effective July 1, 2011. There is no legislative intent that contractor be treated as arm of the state immunizing it from local zoning ordinances under sovereign immunity doctrine; provision allowing state to contract for nursing home care for those in state custody “notwithstanding any provision of the general statutes” did not make contractor immune from any other statute since section expressly exempted contractor from only certain statutes; zoning laws did not irreconcilably conflict with section. 315 C. 265.
