Substitute House Bill No. 7095, also known as Special Act No. 25-3, 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 this action plan must include metrics for tracking progress, a timeline, necessary resources, and an assessment of the potential economic impact of such membership. Additionally, it requires UConn to provide recommendations for any legislative support needed to achieve these goals.

The action plan is 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.
