Senate Bill No. 273 proposes amendments to Section 7-411 of the general statutes concerning municipal civil service boards. The bill replaces the phrase "Such" with "The" at the beginning of the section and specifies that the civil service board must classify all officers and employees within ninety days after the initial appointment of commissioners, rather than simply "within." Additionally, the bill clarifies that the board may exempt from tests and competition the officer responsible for the policy of any department, along with one deputy, private secretary, or other confidential employee of that officer.

The bill is set to take effect on October 1, 2026, and is characterized as making technical changes that do not have any fiscal impact on the state or municipalities. The Planning and Development Committee has reported the bill favorably, indicating a general consensus for its passage.
