Status: in_force

(b) If the department denies the request for a delayed registration of birth, such adult, parent or legal guardian may petition the court of probate for the district where such birth occurred for an order requiring the department to prepare a certificate of birth of such adult or such minor. The petitioner shall include with the petition the affidavits and other documentary evidence submitted to the department in accordance with subsection (a) of this section. Such court shall schedule a hearing and cause notice of the hearing to be given to the following persons: (1) The petitioner; (2) if the delayed registration of birth is sought for a minor, (A) the parent or legal guardian of the minor, and (B) if the minor is twelve years of age or older, the minor; (3) the commissioner; and (4) any such other person as the court may determine has an interest in the hearing. The commissioner or the commissioner's authorized representative may appear and testify at such hearing. The petitioner shall have the burden of proving the facts of the birth. If the court finds by a preponderance of the evidence that the birth occurred on the date and at the place alleged by the petitioner, the court shall issue an order containing the person's name, sex, date of birth, place of birth and any other identifying information as the court deems appropriate and directing the department to issue a delayed birth certificate. Upon receipt of a certified copy of any such order, the department shall prepare a birth certificate based on the facts set forth in the court's order and transmit a copy of the certificate to the registrar of the town where the birth occurred and to the registrar of the town where the mother resided at the time of birth.

The petitioner shall be responsible for the cost of any genetic test required by the court, except the department shall pay such cost for any petitioner who is found by the court to be indigent. If the results of such test indicate a ninety-nine per cent or greater probability that a person is the mother or father of the adult or minor for whom a delayed registration of birth is sought, the results shall constitute a rebuttable presumption that the person is, in fact, the mother or father of the adult or minor for whom a delayed registration of birth is sought.

(d) Birth certificates registered one year or more after the date of birth shall be marked “delayed” and indicate (1) the date of the delayed registration, (2) the person's name, sex, date of birth, place of birth and any other identifying information prescribed by the commissioner, as such facts of the birth have been determined based upon the evidence presented to the department or stated in a court order, as the case may be, and (3) when the facts of the birth are determined by court order, a statement that the birth is registered pursuant to court order.

Except where the legislative body is the town meeting, a request for funds necessary to implement such written agreement and for approval of any provisions of the agreement which are in conflict with any charter, special act, ordinance, rule or regulation adopted by the municipal employer or its agents, such as a personnel board or civil service commission, or any general statute directly regulating the hours of work of policemen or firemen or any general statute providing for the method or manner of covering or removing employees from coverage under the Connecticut municipal employees' retirement system or under the Policemen and Firemen Survivors' Benefit Fund shall be submitted by the bargaining representative of the municipality within fourteen days of the date on which such agreement is reached to the legislative body which may approve or reject such request as a whole by a majority vote of those present and voting on the matter; but, if rejected, the matter shall be returned to the parties for further bargaining. Failure by the bargaining representative of the municipality to submit such request to the legislative body within such fourteen-day period shall be considered to be a prohibited practice committed by the municipal employer. Such request shall be considered approved if the legislative body fails to vote to approve or reject such request within thirty days of the end of the fourteen-day period for submission to said body. Where the legislative body is the town meeting, approval of the agreement by a majority of the selectmen shall make the agreement valid and binding upon the town and the board of finance shall appropriate or provide whatever funds are necessary to comply with such collective bargaining agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding any provision of any general statute, charter, special act or ordinance to the contrary, the budget-appropriating authority of any municipal employer shall appropriate whatever funds are required to comply with a collective bargaining agreement, provided the request called for in subsection (b) of this section has been approved by the legislative body of such municipal employer, or with a collective bargaining agreement approved as the result of an arbitration decision rendered in an impasse of contract negotiations under section 7-472 , or rendered in accordance with the provisions of section 7-473c .

(d) If the municipal employer is a district, school board, housing authority or other authority established by law, or is a private nonprofit corporation which has a valid contract with any town, city, borough or district to extinguish fires and to protect its inhabitants from loss by fire, which by statute, charter, special act or ordinance has sole and exclusive control over the appointment of and the wages, hours and conditions of employment of its employees, such district, school board, housing authority, other authority or corporation, or its designated representatives, shall represent such municipal employer in collective bargaining and shall have the authority to enter into collective bargaining agreements with the employee organization which is the exclusive representative of such employees, and such agreements shall be binding on the parties thereto, provided, where any provisions of any such agreement require federal approval, such provisions shall be binding upon receipt of such approval, and no such agreement or any part thereof shall require approval of the legislative body of the municipality.

(e) No provision of any general statute, charter, special act or ordinance shall prevent negotiations between a municipal employer and an employee organization, which has been designated or recognized as the exclusive representative of employees in an appropriate unit, from continuing after the final date for making or setting the budget of such municipal employer. An agreement between a municipal employer and an employee organization shall be valid and in force under its terms when entered into in accordance with the provisions of sections 7-467 to 7-477 , inclusive, and signed by the chief executive officer or administrator as a ministerial act. Such terms may make any such agreement effective on a date prior to the date on which such agreement is entered. No publication thereof shall be required to make it effective. The procedure for the making of an agreement between the municipal employer and an employee organization provided by said sections shall be the exclusive method for making a valid agreement for municipal employees represented by an employee organization, and any provisions in any general statute, charter or special act to the contrary shall not apply to such an agreement.

(f) Where there is a conflict between any agreement reached by a municipal employer and an employee organization and approved in accordance with the provisions of sections 7-467 to 7-477 , inclusive, on matters appropriate to collective bargaining, as defined in said sections, and any charter, special act, ordinance, rules or regulations adopted by the municipal employer or its agents such as a personnel board or civil service commission, or any general statute directly regulating the hours of work of policemen or firemen, or any general statute providing for the method or manner of covering or removing employees from coverage under the Connecticut municipal employees' retirement system or under the Policemen and Firemen Survivors' Benefit Fund, the terms of such agreement shall prevail; provided, if participation of any employees in said system or said fund is effected by such agreement, the effective date of participation in said system or said fund, notwithstanding any contrary provision in such agreement, shall be the first day of the third month following the month in which a certified copy of such agreement is received by the Retirement Commission, or such later date as may be specified in the agreement.

(g) Nothing herein shall diminish the authority and power of any municipal civil service commission, personnel board, personnel agency or its agents established by statute, charter or special act to conduct and grade merit examinations and to rate candidates in the order of their relative excellence from which appointments or promotions may be made to positions in the competitive division of the classified service of the municipal employer served by such civil service commission or personnel board. The conduct and the grading of merit examinations, the rating of candidates and the establishment of lists from such examinations and the initial appointments from such lists and any provision of any municipal charter concerning political activity of municipal employees shall not be subject to collective bargaining, provided once the procedures for the promotional process have been established by the municipality, any changes to the process proposed by the municipality concerning the following issues shall be subject to collective bargaining: (1) The necessary qualifications for taking a promotional examination; (2) the relative weight to be attached to each method of examination; and (3) the use and determination of monitors for written, oral and performance examinations. In no event shall the content of any promotional examination be subject to collective bargaining.

All such bonds shall be authorized after such public hearing by resolution adopted by a majority of all the directors of the transit district, provided no resolution authorizing the issuance of general obligation bonds exceeding two hundred fifty thousand dollars shall become effective until ninety days after publication of notice of passage of the resolution in a newspaper or newspapers having a substantial circulation in the district. Such resolution authorizing the issuance of general obligation bonds exceeding two hundred fifty thousand dollars shall become effective ninety days after publication of notice of passage of the resolution by the board of directors of the transit district unless the legislative bodies of those constituent municipalities whose population comprises forty per cent of the population of all the constituent municipalities vote to disapprove such resolution within such ninety-day period, or unless the legislative bodies of one-third of the constituent municipalities vote to disapprove such resolution within such ninety-day period. The effective date of such resolution authorizing the issuance of general obligation bonds exceeding two hundred fifty thousand dollars shall be suspended if petitions requesting a district-wide referendum on such resolution and signed by not less than ten per cent of the electors of any municipality which is a member of the transit district, or by not less than five per cent of the electors of all the municipalities which are members of the transit district, and complying with section 7-9 , are filed with the clerk of any such municipalities within the sixty-day period following the publication of notice of passage.

Such resolution shall become effective upon receiving the favorable vote of a majority of all electors voting thereon at such referendum.

(c) “Annual receipts from taxation” means the receipts from taxation of all the municipalities which are members of the transit district for the fiscal year next preceding the date of issue.

(d) Whenever a transit district has been authorized to issue bonds as provided by this section, the board of directors of such district may authorize without public hearing the issuance of temporary notes in anticipation of the receipt of the proceeds from the sale of such bonds. Such notes shall be issued for a period of not more than four years, but notes issued for a shorter period of time may be renewed by the issue of other notes provided the period from the date of the original notes to the maturity of the last notes issued in renewal thereof shall not exceed four years, and, to the extent of the unpaid balance of federal and state grants as to which the transit district has a written commitment, notes may be renewed by the issue of other notes for such longer time pending receipt of such grant proceeds.

(e) In the discretion of the board of directors, the revenue bonds of the transit district may be secured by a trust indenture between the transit district and a corporate trustee, which trustee may be any trust company or bank having the powers of a trust company in the state. Such indenture may contain reasonable and adequate provisions for protecting and enforcing the rights and remedies of the bond holders and may restrict their individual rights of action as is customary in trust indentures securing bonds and debentures of corporations.

(f) The bonds and notes of a transit district issued pursuant to this chapter shall be lawful investments of the state and all governmental units and agencies thereof, of all banks, trust companies, savings banks, savings and loan associations, investment companies, insurance companies, insurance associations, and of all executors, administrators, guardians, trustees and other fiduciaries.

(g) Bonds and notes issued under the provisions of this chapter, their transfer and the income therefrom, including any profit made on the sale thereof, shall at all times be free from taxation within the state.

(h) If at any time the transit district is in default on the payment of the principal of or interest on general obligation bonds or bond anticipation notes of such transit district, the chief fiscal officer of the defaulting transit district shall set apart from the first revenues thereafter received by the transit district, from whatever source, except revenues pledged as security for other bonds or notes and those federal or state grants or loans which the grant agency restricts to uses other than debt service on the district's bonds or bond anticipation notes, an amount sufficient to pay the principal and interest due and owing on such bonds or bond anticipation notes and shall immediately apply such amount to such default.

(i) If so recommended by the Commissioner of Transportation and if so authorized by resolution of the State Bond Commission, the state shall unconditionally guarantee the punctual payment of the principal of and interest on any bonds or notes of the transit district issued under the provisions of this chapter, provided the aggregate principal amount of such bonds or notes so guaranteed pursuant to this section shall not exceed fifty million dollars. Any such guarantee of bonds or notes of a transit district made pursuant to this section shall be evidenced by endorsement thereof on such bonds or notes, executed in the name of the state and on its behalf by such officer thereof as may be designated in said resolution of the State Bond Commission authorizing such guarantee. The execution of such a guarantee on any bonds or notes issued pursuant to the provisions of this chapter as aforesaid shall obligate the state to pay the principal of and interest on said bonds or notes upon default in such payment by the transit district.

(j) A district may issue bonds, notes or other obligations under this section, the interest on which may be includable in the gross income of the holder or holders thereof under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, or any subsequent corresponding internal revenue code of the United States, as from time to time amended, or any subsequent such code. The district may issue such bonds, notes or obligations only upon finding that such issuance is necessary, in the public interest and furthers the purposes and powers of the district.

Status: in_force

(2) The benefit assessments shall be adopted and revised by the municipality at least annually not more than sixty days before the beginning of the fiscal year. If the benefit assessments are assessed and levied prior to the acquisition or construction of the public improvements, the amount of the benefit assessments may be adjusted to reflect the actual cost of such public improvements, including all financing costs, once such public improvements are complete, if the actual cost is greater than or less than the estimated costs.

(b) Before estimating and making a benefit assessment under subsection (a) of this section, the municipality shall hold at least one public hearing on its schedule of benefit assessments or any revision thereof. Notice of such hearing shall be published at least ten days before such hearing in a newspaper having general circulation within the municipality. The notice shall include (1) the date, time and place of hearing; (2) the boundaries of the tax increment district by legal description; (3) a statement that all interested persons owning real estate or taxable property located within the tax increment district will be given an opportunity to be heard at the hearing and an opportunity to file objections to the amount of the assessment; (4) the maximum rate of assessments to be extended in any one year; and (5) a statement indicating that the proposed list of properties to be assessed and the estimated assessments against those properties are available at the city or town office or at the office of the assessor. The notice may include a maximum number of years the assessments will be levied. Not later than the date of the publication, the municipality shall make available to any member of the public, upon request, the proposed schedule of benefit assessments. The procedures for public hearing and appeal set forth in section 7-250 shall apply for all benefit assessments made by a municipality pursuant to this section, except that the board of finance, or the municipality's legislative body if no board of finance exists, shall be substituted for the water pollution control authority.

(c) A municipality may adopt ordinances apportioning the value of improvements within a tax increment district according to a formula that reflects actual benefits that accrue to the various properties because of the development and maintenance.

(d) A municipality may increase assessments or extend the maximum number of years the assessments will be levied after notice and public hearing is held pursuant to subsection (b) of this section.

(e) (1) Benefit assessments made under this section shall be collected in the same manner as municipal taxes. Municipalities are granted all the powers and privileges with respect thereto as provided to municipalities in the general statutes for the enforcement and collection of assessments and tax liens, or as otherwise provided in sections 7-339cc to 7-339kk , inclusive. Benefit assessments shall be due and payable at such times as are fixed by the municipality, provided the municipality shall give notice of such due date not less than thirty days prior to such due date by publication in a newspaper of general circulation in the municipality and by mailing such notice to the owners of the real property assessed at their last-known address. All revenues from assessments under this section shall be paid into the appropriate district master plan fund account established under subsection (c) of section 7-339gg .

(2) If any property owner fails to pay any assessment or part of an assessment on or before the date on which such assessment or part of such assessment is due, the municipality has all the authority and powers to collect the delinquent assessments vested in the municipality by law to collect delinquent municipal taxes. Benefit assessments, if not paid when due, shall constitute a lien upon the real property served and a charge against the owners thereof, which lien and charge shall bear interest at the same rate as delinquent property taxes. Each such lien may be continued, recorded and released in the manner provided for property tax liens and shall take precedence over all other liens or encumbrances except a lien for property taxes of the municipality.
