Bill > HB06449

This bill establishes the New Ideas for Connecticut platform, an online system that will allow Connecticut residents to submit proposals aimed at improving three key areas of state governance: economic development, government efficiency, and civic engagement. The platform is designed to create a direct channel for citizens to contribute ideas and suggestions to state officials, potentially helping to drive innovation and public participation in state-level decision-making. By creating this digital submission platform, the bill seeks to foster a more collaborative relationship between residents and government, enabling everyday citizens to propose solutions and share insights that could help address challenges and improve the state's overall performance. The platform represents an effort to increase transparency, encourage public input, and potentially discover novel approaches to addressing state-level issues through crowdsourced innovation.
