in effect

Conn. Gen. Stat. § 12-242ee Legislative findings.

12-242ee. Legislative findings. It is found and declared that the exemption from the corporation business tax of interest on certain Connecticut state and local obligations may preclude the state from including interest on obligations of the United States in gross income for the purposes of the corporation business tax. It is further found and declared that the taking by the exercise of the power of eminent domain of the rights to exclude from gross income interest on certain state and local obligations for corporation business tax purposes and other related rights is a public use or purpose for the general benefit of the state and its citizens and the promotion of the public welfare. It is further found and declared that the laws governing the refund of taxes should be clarified to ensure that any tax refunds based on the exclusion of revenue from gross income are net of related expenses.

The court, upon a showing of good cause, may extend the sixty-day period. The court shall select any mediation or arbitration program that the court, in its discretion, finds to be best suited to the resolution of the condemnation appeal. In no event may the court order the owner and the secretary to submit to binding arbitration. All mediation or arbitration costs and fees shall be borne equally by the owner and the secretary.

The court, in its discretion, may, for good cause shown, extend the one-hundred-eighty-day period. Said court, upon reasonable notice to the owner and the secretary, shall hear, determine and enter judgment on the condemnation appeal. If no appeal to the Appellate Court is filed within the time allowed by law, or if one is filed and the proceedings have terminated in a final judgment finding the amount due the owner, the clerk shall send a certified copy of the judgment to the secretary and to the Comptroller who shall, upon receipt thereof, draw his order upon the Treasurer in favor of the owner for the amount due him as compensation. Such judgment shall extinguish any and all claims of the owner arising out of or relating to the takings with respect to affected state obligations of such owner pursuant to section 12-242gg specified in the notice of individual condemnation and assessment of special damages and special benefits. (e) Any person entitled to bring a condemnation appeal under this section or the secretary may, pursuant to the rules established by the judges of the Superior Court, make a motion for the consolidation of all pending condemnation appeals including those appeals referred to a mediation or arbitration program under this section into a class action.

The owner shall provide a bond to the state, conditioned on the repayment to the state, of so much of such deposit as may be withdrawn by such owner that exceeds the amount of compensation finally determined or accepted. Interest shall not be allowed on the deposit in any judgment for such owner except that interest at the guaranteed interest rate on funds in the Short Term Investment Fund established pursuant to section 3-27a on March 8, 1995, shall accrue from said date to the date of filing with the court of the individual notice of condemnation and assessment of special damages and special benefits.
