The proposed legislation, General Assembly Raised Bill No. 5489, establishes a working group tasked with studying the state's Workers' Compensation Act. This study will focus on reviewing the provisions outlined in sections 31-275 to 31-355b of the general statutes, with the aim of recommending necessary changes. The working group will consist of six members, each appointed by various leaders from both the House of Representatives and the Senate, who possess expertise in the application and interpretation of the Workers' Compensation Act.

The working group is required to submit a report detailing its findings and recommendations to the relevant joint standing committees by January 1, 2027. The group will be dissolved upon submission of the report or on the same date, whichever is later. The act is set to take effect upon passage and introduces new legal language to establish the working group while deleting any previous references that may not align with this new structure.
