Bill > HB06032

This bill seeks to remove the term "Latinx" from section 10a-132f of Connecticut's general statutes. The term "Latinx" is a gender-neutral alternative to "Latino" or "Latina" that has been used to be inclusive of all gender identities, but this bill would eliminate its use in official state legal language. While the bill text does not provide the specific context of the section being modified, it appears to be a legislative effort to standardize language referring to people of Latin American descent, likely reverting to more traditional gendered terms. The bill is straightforward in its purpose, simply instructing that the term "Latinx" be deleted from the referenced section of the general statutes, without providing additional details about the broader implications or reasoning behind this linguistic change.
