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 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 new legal language that establishes the ban on possession. The intent behind this measure is to enhance public safety and mitigate risks related to the recreational use of nitrous oxide.
