AN ACT CONCERNING A STUDY OF THE CRIMINAL PROCEDURE LAWS OF THIS STATE.

This bill establishes a working group to review and study the state's criminal procedure laws, specifically examining Title 54 of the general statutes. The group will be composed of six members appointed by various legislative leaders, including the Speaker, Senate president pro tempore, and both majority and minority leaders from each chamber. The working group must submit a report with its findings and recommendations to the judiciary committee by January 1, 2027, or when the group completes its work, whichever comes later. This measure creates a temporary committee tasked with analyzing existing laws rather than making immediate changes to criminal procedure.
