HB 5491 Connecticut House · 2026 Regular Session

AN ACT CONCERNING CENTRALIZATION OF WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT INFORMATION.

This bill requires the Labor Commissioner to establish a centralized online resource for workforce development information by January 1, 2027. The new web page will serve as a repository containing job training details, career counseling resources, and links to relevant organizations and regional partnerships. The Labor Commissioner must update the site quarterly by soliciting information from reputable providers. This change primarily affects job seekers, employers, and workforce development agencies by consolidating scattered resources into one accessible location.
