Senate Bill No. 132 establishes a task force to study and improve the role of the standing legislative regulation review committee in the agency regulation adoption process as outlined in chapter 54 of the general statutes. The task force will consist of various appointed members, including professors of administrative law, legislative leaders, and representatives from the Attorney General's office and the Secretary of the State's office. The task force is required to submit a report with findings and recommendations to the relevant joint standing committee of the General Assembly by January 1, 2026, and will terminate upon submission of this report.
The bill includes new legal language that establishes the task force and outlines its composition and responsibilities, specifically inserting provisions for the appointment of members and the timeline for meetings and reporting. There are no deletions from current law, as this bill introduces a new section to the statutes. The fiscal impact of the bill is assessed as none, as the task force is expected to operate without additional costs to the state or municipalities.
