AN ACT CONCERNING A STUDY OF THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A CONNECTICUT BRIDGE AUTHORITY.

HB 5320 requires Connecticut's Commissioner of Economic and Community Development to study the feasibility of creating a Connecticut Bridge Authority, which would oversee funding and construction of a bridge connecting Connecticut to Long Island. The commissioner must complete this study and submit a report to relevant legislative committees by January 1, 2027. This bill does not establish the authority itself but mandates a formal assessment to inform future legislative decisions. The study directly affects the commissioner's office and the General Assembly committees overseeing commerce and transportation.
