AI Summary
This bill requires the Connecticut Department of Transportation (DOT) to fully restore Shore Line East rail line service to its pre-pandemic levels by July 1, 2025. Specifically, the bill mandates that service must be returned to the same frequency and extent that existed before the service reductions implemented during the COVID-19 public health emergency, which was officially declared by the Governor on March 10, 2020. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage and provides a clear timeline for the DOT to complete the service restoration, ensuring that rail service in the affected area returns to its previous operational status within approximately two years of the bill's enactment.
