Senate Bill No. 1548 establishes a working group tasked with studying the civil laws of the state, specifically reviewing provisions in various titles of the general statutes, including titles 51 and 52. The working group will consist of six members appointed by legislative leaders from both the House and Senate, ensuring a diverse representation of expertise in civil law. The group is required to submit a report detailing its findings and recommendations to the relevant joint standing committee of the General Assembly by January 1, 2026, or upon completion of its report, whichever comes later. The working group will dissolve once the report is submitted.
The bill does not introduce any new fiscal impacts on the state or municipalities, as it relies on the existing expertise of its members to fulfill its objectives. The legal language inserted into the current law includes the establishment of the working group and its reporting requirements, while no deletions from existing law are noted in the text. The act is set to take effect upon passage.
