The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 5061, aims to amend chapter 243 of the general statutes by requiring the Department of Transportation to establish a new commuter rail line that connects Hartford Union Station to Bradley International Airport. This new rail line will include station stops in the towns of Hartford, Bloomfield, and Windsor Locks.

The primary purpose of this legislation is to enhance the accessibility and competitiveness of Bradley International Airport, thereby improving transportation options for commuters and travelers in the region. The bill does not include any deletions from current law, focusing solely on the insertion of the requirement for the new commuter rail line.
