Chapter 173 - Public School Building Projects
Section 10-287a. - Lump sum payments. Advance payment of grants. Overpayment.

A grant under this chapter to meet project costs not permanently financed prior to July 1, 1969, shall be payable in one lump sum forthwith after the completion of such projects and a determination by the Commissioner of Education of the amount of such grant, but only if the application for review of preliminary plans and specifications on Form 2A for such project was submitted prior to October 1, 1975, in the case of towns and prior to October 15, 1975, in the case of regional school districts. The Commissioner of Education is authorized on behalf of the state, subject to the approval of the State Bond Commission, to make a commitment for such grant at any time prior to the completion of such project and to make advances thereon at such times and in such amounts as it shall deem advisable, provided the aggregate of such advances shall at no time exceed the estimated amount of such grant as determined by the Commissioner of Education. If the aggregate of such advances exceeds the amount of such grant as finally determined by the Commissioner of Education, the town or regional school district receiving such advances shall promptly repay to the state the amount of such overpayment.

(1969, P.A. 751, S. 2; 1971, P.A. 695, S. 2; P.A. 76-418, S. 8, 18; P.A. 88-360, S. 35, 63.)
History: 1971 act made provisions applicable to grants “to meet the project costs not permanently financed prior to July 1, 1969,” rather than to grants “for project receiving state financial assistance under section 10-287b” as previously and simplified language; P.A. 76-418 qualified provision requiring payment in lump sum, limiting its applicability to cases in which preliminary plans and specifications were submitted as set forth in section; P.A. 88-360 substituted “commissioner” for “state board” of education.
