The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 5008, aims to establish a Connecticut-Puerto Rico Trade Commission. This commission is intended to enhance bilateral trade and investment between Connecticut and Puerto Rico, facilitate joint policy initiatives, promote business and academic exchanges, and encourage mutual economic support and infrastructure investment. The commission will also address additional related matters as determined by its members.

The bill does not include any deletions from current law but introduces new legal language to create the commission and outline its objectives. The establishment of this commission reflects a commitment to strengthening economic ties and collaboration between Connecticut and Puerto Rico.
