Senate Bill No. 337 establishes a task force to study the removal and storage of property belonging to evicted tenants, as outlined in section 47a-42 of the general statutes. The task force will examine various aspects of the current system, including the costs associated with property removal for municipalities, the average value of stored items, and potential recommendations for statutory or regulatory changes aimed at reducing the financial burden on plaintiffs, defendants, and municipalities, as well as improving the efficiency of the removal process. The task force will consist of members appointed by legislative leaders, including representatives from municipalities and state marshals, and is required to submit a report with findings and recommendations by January 1, 2027.

The bill includes new legal language establishing the task force and specifies its composition and responsibilities, with no deletions from current law. The task force is expected to be formed within thirty days of the bill's passage, and its administrative staff will be provided by the joint standing committee of the General Assembly that oversees housing matters. The bill does not have any fiscal impact on the state or municipalities, as it relies on the expertise of the appointed members to fulfill its objectives.
