House Bill No. 5392 proposes amendments to Section 7-148l of the general statutes concerning the process for appealing decisions made by municipal agencies related to discriminatory practices. The bill repeals the existing language and substitutes it with new provisions that specify that any person aggrieved by an order from a municipal board, commission, council, committee, or other designated agency may appeal to the State Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities. The bill modifies the timeframe for filing such appeals by changing the language from "within" to "not later than" thirty days "of" to "after" the mailing of the written decision.

The bill is set to take effect on October 1, 2026, and is characterized as making technical changes without any fiscal impact on the state or municipalities. The Planning and Development Committee has reported the bill favorably, indicating a majority support for its passage.
