HB 5383 Connecticut House · 2026 Regular Session

AN ACT CONCERNING THE LEGISLATIVE COMMISSIONERS' RECOMMENDATIONS FOR MINOR AND TECHNICAL REVISIONS TO STATUTES CONCERNING LABOR.

HB 5383 makes minor technical updates to Connecticut labor statutes. It revises definitions of "state employer" to include airport authorities and their contractors, expands "firefighter" to cover certain inspectors and airport department members, clarifies procedures for employers to dispute unemployment benefit charges, and updates occupational disease reporting requirements for healthcare providers. These changes directly affect state agencies, employers, and workers in labor-related contexts. The bill refines existing statutory language without creating new programs or benefits.
