The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 1162, aims to establish the Connecticut Italian-American Heritage Commission. This commission is intended to preserve and promote Italian and Italian-American heritage within the state. The bill outlines that the commission will focus on developing cultural and educational programs, as well as preserving specific cultural and historical sites that are significant to the Italian-American community.

The bill introduces new legal language to the general statutes to formalize the creation of this commission, with no deletions from existing law noted in the text. The initiative reflects a commitment to recognizing and celebrating the contributions of Italian-Americans in Connecticut, ensuring that their heritage is maintained and promoted for future generations.
