The General Assembly Raised Bill No. 131 mandates the Commissioner of Economic and Community Development to conduct a study on the needs of manufacturers in the state. The bill requires that a report detailing the findings of this study be submitted to the relevant joint standing committee of the General Assembly by January 1, 2027. This initiative aims to better understand and address the challenges faced by the manufacturing sector in Connecticut.

The bill introduces new legal language, specifically stating that the study will be conducted and the report submitted, while there are no deletions from existing law. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage, emphasizing the urgency of assessing the manufacturing needs in the state.
