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 lawful uses. This legislative change aims to safeguard 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 new legal language that explicitly bans the possession of nitrous oxide outside of its lawful applications. This measure reflects a growing concern regarding the safety and regulation of substances that can be misused, thereby enhancing public safety and welfare.
