Sec. 7-131m. Combined conservation and recreational commission. (a) Unless
otherwise provided by special act, any town may by ordinance or vote of its legislative
body designate its conservation commission or its recreational authority as the conservation and recreational commission for such town, and such commission shall thereupon
have all the powers and duties of both a conservation and a recreational authority and
shall supersede any previous conservation commission or recreational authority, as the

(b) Any town which has designated its conservation commission or recreational
authority as the conservation and recreation commission in accordance with the provisions of subsection (a) of this section may, by ordinance or by vote of its legislative
body, reverse such designation and do anything to conform to the provisions of sections
7-130a to 7-130w, inclusive, and 7-131a, provided no such reversal, unless otherwise
stated, shall be construed to affect the continuity of conservation or recreation programs
in such town.
