Substitute House Bill No. 7095 mandates that the University of Connecticut (UConn) develop an action plan aimed at enhancing its chances of becoming a member of an association of research universities in the United States. The bill specifies that the action plan must include metrics for tracking progress, a timeline, resources needed to achieve these metrics, and an assessment of the potential economic impact of UConn's membership. Additionally, the plan should contain recommendations for any legislative support necessary to help UConn meet these goals.

The action plan is required to be submitted to the relevant joint standing committee of the General Assembly by January 1, 2026, in accordance with section 11-4a of the general statutes. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and was approved by the Governor on May 29, 2025. There are no deletions from current law noted in this bill, as it introduces new requirements for UConn without removing existing provisions.
