Impact

By enhancing the existing framework, the bill aims to simplify procedures, making it easier for businesses to operate and resolve conflicts efficiently. This legislative change is intended to bolster Connecticut's competitiveness compared to other states, possibly encouraging businesses to incorporate in Connecticut rather than in jurisdictions perceived as more favorable.

Summary
