House Bill No. 5453 mandates the Commissioner of Administrative Services, in collaboration with the Commissioner of Emergency Services and Public Protection and the Labor Commissioner, to conduct a study on the establishment of state-wide job classifications for "essential workers" and "first responders." The study aims to assess the potential impacts of such classifications on job roles, employee benefits, and requirements, as well as to define these classifications. Additionally, it will evaluate whether telecommunicators and public works department employees should be included in these classifications. The findings of the study are to be reported to the relevant joint standing committee of the General Assembly by January 1, 2027.

The bill introduces new legal language, specifically stating that the Commissioner of Administrative Services shall submit a report in accordance with section 11-4a of the general statutes. There are no deletions from current law noted in the text. The fiscal impact of the bill is assessed as neutral, indicating that it will not result in any financial implications for the state or municipalities.
