Bill > HB06849

This bill proposes a series of minor and technical revisions to various Connecticut government administration and elections statutes, primarily focusing on clarifying language, updating references, and making technical corrections across multiple sections of state law. The bill makes changes to definitions and procedures in areas such as voter registration, election processes, absentee voting, and administrative operations. Specifically, the bill updates the definition of "mineral" in state law, clarifies the appointment and responsibilities of department deputies, modifies rules for candidate contact information in voter guides, adjusts procedures for voter registry list management, refines rules for voting assistance, updates recanvass procedures for elections, and makes technical amendments to various sections of election law. The bill is largely administrative in nature, aiming to improve the precision and clarity of existing statutes, with most changes taking effect on October 1, 2025, and one section taking effect on July 1, 2025. These modifications are intended to streamline government operations and election processes by eliminating ambiguous language and ensuring consistency across different sections of Connecticut's legal code.
