Norwalk, Conn., Code of Ordinances ch. 39 § 39-22
Additions to state law (Norwalk Fair Rent Commission Ordinance)
Operative Text
Any addition to the state law referring to Fair Rent Commissions will be automatically incorporated into this chapter.
Under Norwalk, Conn., Code of Ordinances ch. 39 § 39-22, any future changes or additions that Connecticut state law makes to provisions governing Fair Rent Commissions are automatically folded into Norwalk's local rent ordinance without requiring a separate local amendment. This means the local chapter stays aligned with state law as it evolves. The provision functions as a standing incorporation-by-reference clause, keeping local and state rules in sync.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators subject to Norwalk's rent regulations under ch. 39 § 39-22 should be aware that the local ordinance expands automatically whenever Connecticut state law adds new requirements or authorities related to Fair Rent Commissions. Compliant operators generally monitor both state legislative updates and local ordinance changes, since new state provisions take effect locally without a separate Norwalk enactment. Staying current with Connecticut General Statutes governing Fair Rent Commissions is therefore a routine part of compliance under this chapter.
