RESOLUTION CONFIRMING THE NOMINATION OF DENNIS C. MURPHY OF BRIDGEPORT TO BE REAPPOINTED A MEMBER OF THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION ARBITRATION PANEL.

This bill confirms the nomination of Dennis C. Murphy of Bridgeport to serve as a reappointed member of the State Department of Education Arbitration Panel. The resolution approves his appointment as a neutral arbitrator for a term ending June 30, 2028, or until a successor is appointed and qualified, whichever occurs later.
