Legislative History

(1961, P.A. 430, S. 12; P.A. 80-314, S. 11; P.A. 06-196, S. 39.) History: P.A. 80-314 expanded validation to cover districts created before October 1, 1980, and added Subsec. (b) excepting property of nonprofit higher education institutions from provisions of Secs. 7-147a to 7-147k; P.A. 06-196 made a technical change in Subsec. (b), effective June 7, 2006. Cited. 171 C. 199; 189 C. 727. Subsec. (a): Validation of the Farmington Historic District by statute rendered moot the basis for complaint. 189 C. 727. Subsec. (b): Where express exceptions are made, legal presumption is legislature did not intend to save other cases from operation of statute; the enactment of section indicates that legislature, when it desires to do so, knows how to exempt specific kinds of educational institutions from historic district regulation. 284 C. 838.
