House Bill No. 6860 proposes to commemorate state trooper Irving H. Nelson by directing the Commissioner of Transportation to erect a sign at the intersection of U.S. Route 44 and Connecticut Route 169 in Pomfret. The bill includes new legal language that establishes this requirement, with an effective date of October 1, 2025.

The fiscal impact of the bill is minimal, with a one-time cost of less than $1,000 for the Department of Transportation to create and install the sign. There are no anticipated ongoing costs or municipal impacts associated with this legislation. The bill received unanimous support from the Public Safety and Security Committee, indicating strong legislative backing for the commemoration of Trooper Nelson.
