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, and an assessment of the statewide economic impact of UConn's potential membership. Additionally, the plan should contain recommendations for any legislative support necessary to help UConn meet these metrics and secure membership.

The action plan is required to be submitted to the relevant joint standing committee of the General Assembly by January 1, 2026, and the provisions of the bill will take effect on July 1, 2025. There are no deletions from current law noted in this bill, as it introduces new legal language focused on the development and submission of the action plan.
