The General Assembly Raised Bill No. 7095 mandates that the University of Connecticut (UConn) develop an action plan aimed at achieving membership in an association of research universities in the United States. This action plan must outline the membership criteria UConn needs to fulfill, the timeline and resources necessary to meet these criteria, and the anticipated economic impact of such membership on the state. Additionally, the plan should include recommendations for any legislative support required to assist UConn in meeting these criteria. The university is required to submit this action plan to the relevant joint standing committee of the General Assembly by January 1, 2026.

The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and introduces new legal language to current law, specifically establishing a new section that outlines the requirements for UConn's action plan. The bill does not propose any deletions from existing law, as indicated by the absence of any marked deletions in the text. The overall purpose of the bill is to enhance UConn's status and capabilities as a research institution, thereby contributing to the state's economic development.
