The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6716, aims to amend section 13b-79p of the general statutes to mandate the Department of Transportation to expand commuter rail lines to include the town of New Milford. This legislative initiative is intended to enhance public transportation options and increase ridership on Connecticut's commuter rail system.

The bill introduces new legal language that specifies the requirement for the expansion of commuter rail services, while there are no deletions from the current law noted in the text. The overarching goal of this bill is to improve accessibility and convenience for residents of New Milford, thereby promoting the use of public transportation in the region.
