Sec. 7-199. Referendum. Not less than ninety days nor more than eighteen months
after the appointment of such consolidation commission, such consolidation ordinance
shall be submitted to the town clerk. Such ordinance shall be submitted to the electors
of the town at the next general election following submission to the town clerk. A special
election may be held before the next general election providing a petition for a special
election is filed with the town clerk of such municipality for submission to the legislative
body and signed by not less than ten per cent of the electors of such town. The sufficiency
of such petition shall be determined in the manner specified in section 7-188. Such
consolidation ordinance shall become effective if approved by a majority of the electors
of the town voting thereon; provided such majority shall be no less than fifteen per cent
of the electors as determined by the last-completed registry list of such town.
History: P.A. 75-212 required submission of ordinance within eighteen months rather than within one year to town clerk (previously to electors) and to voters at next general election following submission to clerk unless special election held.
