House Bill No. 5565 establishes a working group tasked with studying the civil and criminal laws of the state, specifically reviewing titles 46b, 51, 52, 53, 53a, and 54 of the general statutes. The group will consist of six members appointed by various leaders in the House and Senate, and it will be supported by the administrative staff of the judiciary committee. The working group is required to submit a report detailing its findings and recommendations by January 1, 2027, and will dissolve upon submission of the report or on that date, whichever is later.

The bill does not include any deletions from current law but introduces new legal language to create the working group and outline its responsibilities. It is designed to have no fiscal impact on the state or municipalities, as the working group will utilize existing expertise to fulfill its mandate. The bill has received favorable support from the Judiciary Committee, indicating a strong legislative backing for the initiative.
