Conn. Gen. Stat. § 16a-24
The General Assembly hereby finds that a proposed plan of conservation and development was prepared in response to House Joint Resolution 40 of the 1971 regular session of the General Assembly and that on September 27, 1974, said plan became the official policy for the executive branch of government in matters pertaining to land and water resource conservation and development pursuant to Executive Order No. 28. It is further found that the General Assembly has not yet recognized this plan of conservation and development. Therefore the General Assembly finds and declares that the recognition of a plan of conservation and development can best be achieved through the establishment of a process for adoption and implementation of the state plan of conservation and development.
