The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 351, seeks to amend title 21a of the general statutes to prohibit the possession of nitrous oxide, with the exception of its lawful uses. This legislative action is aimed at safeguarding public health by addressing the potential harmful effects associated with the misuse of nitrous oxide.

The bill does not specify any deletions from current law but introduces a clear ban on possession, reinforcing the intent to regulate the substance more strictly. The overarching goal is to enhance public safety and mitigate risks related to the recreational or illegal use of nitrous oxide.
