House 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 group will consist of six members with expertise in criminal law, appointed by various leaders from both the House and Senate. The administrative staff of the judiciary committee will support the working group, which is required to submit a report detailing its findings and recommendations by January 1, 2026, or upon completion of its work, whichever is later.

The bill does not introduce any new fiscal impacts on the state or municipalities, as the working group is expected to utilize existing expertise to fulfill its mandate. The act is effective upon passage and includes a new section that formalizes the establishment of the working group. There are no deletions from current law noted in the text of the bill.
