SB 132 Connecticut Senate · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT ESTABLISHING A TASK FORCE CONCERNING THE REGULATION ADOPTION PROCESS.

SB 132 establishes a 9-member task force to study how the existing legislative committee reviews state agency regulations under Chapter 54 of the general statutes. The task force, including appointed experts, legislative leaders, and government officials like the Attorney General and regulation coordinator, will examine ways to improve this process and submit recommendations by January 1, 2026. It does not change current regulations or create new laws, but focuses solely on analyzing the committee’s role in the rulemaking process. The bill has no fiscal impact on state or municipal budgets, as the task force will use existing staff and resources. This procedural bill affects the regulatory review process but does not directly impact businesses, citizens, or agencies.
