Bill Summary · SB 1379

Legislative bill overview

SB 1379 officially codifies and adopts volumes 1-13 of Connecticut's General Statutes as revised and current through January 1, 2025. This is a technical legislative act that formally confirms the official compilation of state laws, incorporating all amendments and revisions made through the specified date into the authoritative legal record.

Why is this important

This bill serves a critical housekeeping function by establishing the definitive, official version of Connecticut's statutory law. Having a formally adopted and current compilation ensures legal clarity for courts, agencies, businesses, and citizens who rely on accurate statutory references, and it prevents disputes about which version of the law is authoritative.

Potential points of contention

  • Procedural nature: This is primarily administrative rather than substantive policy, so it generates minimal partisan controversy, though any disagreements would center on whether all recent amendments were properly included and accurately reflected.
  • Timing and completeness: Questions could arise about whether the January 1, 2025 cutoff date adequately captures all necessary revisions, or whether some laws passed between that date and final adoption should have been included.
  • Technical accuracy: While rare, errors in the compilation process itself could theoretically affect how specific statutes are interpreted, though formal adoption provides legal protection against most such challenges.
