The proposed legislation, General Assembly Raised Bill No. 5402, aims to make a technical revision to the public safety statutes, specifically concerning the Connecticut Boxing Commission. The bill repeals subsection (a) of section 29-143i of the general statutes and substitutes it with new language that establishes the commission within the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection. The commission will consist of nine members appointed by various state leaders, including the Governor and legislative leaders from both parties. The terms of the commission members will be coterminous with the appointing authority or until a successor is chosen, and members will not receive compensation for their services. The commission is required to hold at least one meeting each quarter.

This act is set to take effect on October 1, 2026, and the revisions are intended to clarify the structure and operational guidelines of the Connecticut Boxing Commission. The bill emphasizes the importance of maintaining a functional and accountable commission while ensuring that appointments and terms are clearly defined.
