The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6822, seeks to amend title 7 of the general statutes to prohibit municipal employees, including those working for boards of education, from serving on municipal legislative bodies. This change aims to ensure a clear separation between municipal employment and legislative responsibilities, thereby preventing potential conflicts of interest.
The bill introduces new legal language that explicitly states this prohibition, while no existing legal language is deleted. The intent behind this legislation is to enhance the integrity of municipal governance by ensuring that those who are employed by the municipality do not have a dual role in legislative decision-making.
