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 a new section that specifies the effective date of October 1, 2025, for this action.

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 municipal impacts associated with this bill. The Public Safety and Security Committee has reported the bill favorably, with a unanimous vote of 29 in favor and none against.
