The General Assembly Raised Bill No. 7261 establishes a working group tasked with studying the criminal laws of the state, specifically focusing on titles 53 and 53a of the general statutes. The working group will consist of six members with expertise in criminal law, appointed by various leaders within the House and Senate. The administrative staff of the relevant joint standing committee will support the group. The working group is required to submit a report detailing its findings and recommendations by January 1, 2026, and will dissolve upon submission of the report or on that date, whichever is later.
This bill introduces new legal language to create a new section that formalizes the establishment of the working group and outlines its purpose and structure. It also specifies the timeline for the report submission and the termination of the group. The bill does not propose any deletions from current law, as indicated by the absence of any specific deletions in the text. The overall aim of the bill is to facilitate a comprehensive review and potential reform of the state's criminal laws.
