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 this action plan must include metrics for tracking progress, a timeline, necessary resources, and an assessment of the statewide economic impact of UConn's potential membership. Additionally, the plan should contain recommendations for any legislative support needed 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, in accordance with section 11-4a of the general statutes. The bill does not include any deletions from current law but introduces new legal language to establish these requirements for UConn. The effective date for the implementation of this action plan is set for July 1, 2025.
