The proposed legislation, General Assembly Raised Bill No. 133, aims to establish the Connecticut-India Trade Commission as a part of the Legislative Department. The commission will consist of various members appointed by legislative leaders and the Governor, including representatives from the General Assembly, public institutions of higher education, chambers of commerce, and Indian or Indian-American communities. The commission's primary responsibilities will include promoting bilateral trade and investment between Connecticut and India, initiating joint policy actions, and facilitating business and academic exchanges. Members will serve without compensation but can be reimbursed for necessary expenses.

The bill outlines the appointment process, terms of service, and operational guidelines for the commission. Initial appointments are to be made by October 1, 2026, with terms varying based on the appointing authority. The commission will meet as needed and is required to submit an annual report detailing its activities and recommendations for policy changes to relevant state officials. The act will take effect upon passage and introduces new legal language to establish the commission without any deletions from existing law.
