AN ACT ESTABLISHING A TASK FORCE TO STUDY THE OPERATIONS OF THE SOCIAL EQUITY COUNCIL.

HB 7180 establishes a 9-member task force to study the operations of Connecticut's Social Equity Council. The task force, appointed by legislative leaders, the Comptroller, and the Governor, must submit a report by January 1, 2026, to the relevant legislative committee. This bill does not change existing laws or policies but creates a formal process to examine how the Social Equity Council functions. It directly affects the Social Equity Council by requiring it to be reviewed, though the council itself is not altered by this bill.
