The proposed legislation, General Assembly Raised Bill No. 5565, establishes a working group tasked with studying the civil and criminal laws of the state. This study will focus on reviewing specific titles of the general statutes, namely titles 46b, 51, 52, 53, 53a, and 54, with the goal of recommending legislative changes. The working group will consist of six members appointed by various leaders from both the House of Representatives and the Senate, all of whom must have expertise in state laws. The administrative staff of the relevant joint standing committee will support the working group.

The bill mandates that the working group submit a report detailing its findings and recommendations to the judiciary committee by January 1, 2027. The group will dissolve upon submitting this report or on January 1, 2027, whichever occurs later. The act is set to take effect upon passage and introduces new legal language to establish the working group and its functions, while no deletions from current law are specified in the text.
