Senate Bill No. 504 establishes a working group tasked with studying the criminal procedure laws of the state, specifically focusing on title 54 of the general statutes. The group will consist of six members with expertise in criminal procedure, appointed by various leaders from both the House of Representatives and the Senate. 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 by January 1, 2027, or upon completion of its work, whichever comes later.

The bill does not include any deletions from current law but introduces new provisions 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 is expected to have the necessary expertise to fulfill its mandate without incurring additional costs.
