The proposed legislation, General Assembly Raised Bill No. 385, seeks to amend Section 2-56 of the general statutes regarding the titling of proposed bills. The bill introduces new provisions that require the legislative commissioners to select an appropriate title for all bills. If there is a disagreement between the proponent of a proposed bill and the legislative commissioners regarding the title, the default title will be "An Act Concerning matters related to" followed by the name of the committee of cognizance. This change aims to streamline the titling process and ensure consistency in the naming of proposed legislation.

In addition to the new titling requirements, the bill also modifies existing responsibilities of the legislative commissioners. It retains the core functions of collecting information, preparing bills, and advising the Governor, while removing certain procedural details related to the approval of bill forms and amendments. The revised language emphasizes the importance of the commissioners' role in ensuring the proper form of legislation while simplifying the process by which they provide their approval or disapproval. The act is set to take effect on October 1, 2026.
