The proposed legislation, General Assembly Raised Bill No. 252, aims to establish a Regulation Sunset Commission within the Executive Department of Connecticut. This commission will be responsible for reviewing existing regulations from state agencies and recommending the repeal of those deemed outdated, unnecessary, or overly burdensome. The commission will consist of seven appointed members from various legislative leaders and the Secretary of the Office of Policy and Management, with initial appointments required by July 1, 2026, and a termination date set for June 30, 2028. The commission will meet quarterly, hold public hearings, and submit annual reports to the Governor and the legislative regulation review committee detailing recommended repeals and necessary policy changes.

Additionally, the bill mandates the creation of an online portal by the standing legislative regulation review committee by January 1, 2027, allowing the public to submit requests for amendments or eliminations of existing regulations. These requests will be forwarded to the appropriate legislative committees for consideration. The bill introduces new sections to the law, specifically Section 1, which establishes the commission, and Section 2, which outlines the public portal, while no deletions from current law are specified.
