This type of bill, known as a concept, statement, or placeholder bill, is intended to show intent rather than serve as detailed legal language. The note "By Request" means the sponsor introduced it on behalf of a constituent, not as a primary legislative priority.
History
SB 67 was introduced on January 10, 2025 and referred to the Joint Committee on Environment. The bill was filed as a "By Request" measure, a legislative designation indicating Senator Sampson introduced it on behalf of a constituent rather than as a personal legislative priority. Such bills are often introduced as a courtesy and frequently receive no further action.
Connecticut's 2025 session runs through June 4, 2025. As a concept bill lacking specific statutory amendments, SB 67 would require substantial development through the committee process to become actionable legislation. No committee hearing has been scheduled as of the current date.
