The bill, General Assembly Raised Bill No. 1342, proposes amendments to Section 7-148l of the general statutes concerning the appeals process for individuals aggrieved by decisions made by municipal agencies. The key change involves the modification of the filing deadline for appeals to the State Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities. Specifically, the bill replaces the phrase "within thirty days of the mailing of the written decision" with "not later than thirty days after the mailing of the written decision," thereby clarifying the timeline for filing appeals.
This act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and aims to streamline the language regarding the appeals process, ensuring that individuals are aware of their rights and the necessary steps to take when contesting decisions made by municipal boards, commissions, councils, or other designated agencies. The bill is primarily focused on making technical changes to improve the clarity and efficiency of the legal provisions related to these appeals.
