Senate Bill No. 219, introduced in the February Session of 2024 and reported favorably by the Committee on Labor and Public Employees, aims to address working conditions in the state. The bill mandates that the Labor Commissioner conduct a study on the state's working conditions. The results of this study, along with any recommendations for legislative action regarding working conditions, must be reported to the joint standing committee of the General Assembly with jurisdiction over labor matters by January 1, 2025. This report is to be made in accordance with the provisions of section 11-4a of the general statutes.

The bill is identified as File No. 52 and includes a new section that becomes effective upon passage. The fiscal impact statement and bill analysis prepared for the General Assembly members indicate that the bill does not result in any fiscal impact to the state or municipalities, as the Labor Commissioner is expected to complete the study without additional resources. The bill does not have any fiscal implications in the out years for either the state or municipalities. The Office of Legislative Research does not analyze Special Acts, and the committee action shows a joint favorable vote of 8 to 4 in favor of the bill on March 7, 2024.
