The Connecticut-Germany Trade Commission is established as part of the Legislative Department through General Assembly Raised Bill No. 132. The commission will consist of various members appointed by legislative leaders and the Governor, including representatives from the General Assembly, chambers of commerce, and German-American communities. The commission's primary responsibilities include promoting bilateral trade and investment, initiating joint policy actions, and facilitating business and academic exchanges between Connecticut and Germany. Members will serve without compensation but can be reimbursed for necessary expenses.

Initial appointments to the commission must be completed 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 bill does not delete any existing legal language but introduces new provisions to create and define the structure and functions of the commission.
