On July 9, 2025, the Connecticut Administrative Law Commission (CALC) announced a series of proposed changes aimed at streamlining regulatory processes in the state. The proposed changes are part of an ongoing effort to make the state's administrative laws more efficient and user-friendly.One of the key proposals put forward by the CALC is the implementation of a uniform rulemaking process for all state agencies. Currently, each agency in Connecticut follows its own procedures when promulgating rules and regulations, leading to inconsistencies and inefficiencies. Under the new proposal, all agencies would be required to follow a standardized rulemaking process, which would help simplify and clarify the regulatory landscape for businesses and individuals.Another significant proposal involves the consolidation of certain administrative functions across state agencies. By centralizing certain functions, such as licensing and permitting, the state aims to reduce duplication of efforts and improve coordination between agencies. This approach is expected to lead to cost savings for both the state and regulated entities.In addition to these specific proposals, the CALC also announced plans to revise certain existing regulations to make them more user-friendly. This includes clearer language, improved organization, and better guidance for compliance. The goal is to make it easier for stakeholders to understand and comply with the state's regulatory requirements.The proposed changes have already garnered support from various stakeholders, including business groups, advocacy organizations, and government officials. Many believe that the proposed reforms will help make Connecticut a more attractive place to do business and will improve the overall regulatory environment in the state.The CALC will be accepting public comments on the proposed changes for the next 60 days before finalizing the reforms. If approved, the changes are expected to take effect by the end of the year. Overall, the proposed reforms represent a significant step forward in modernizing Connecticut's administrative laws and ensuring that they are responsive to the needs of residents and businesses alike.
