Senate Bill No. 1549 establishes a working group tasked with studying the criminal procedure laws of the state, specifically focusing on title 54 of the general statutes. The group will consist of six members with expertise in criminal procedure, appointed by various leaders from both the House of Representatives and the Senate. The administrative staff of the relevant joint standing committee will support the working group. The bill mandates that the working group submit a report detailing its findings and recommendations by January 1, 2026, after which the group will be dissolved.

The bill does not introduce any new fiscal impacts on the state or municipalities, as it is designed to utilize existing expertise within the working group to fulfill its objectives. The legal language inserted into the bill includes the establishment of the working group and the requirement for a report, while no deletions from current law are noted. The act is set to take effect upon passage.
