The Connecticut Standing Committee is a legislative body within the state of Connecticut. It is composed of members of the state’s Senate and House of Representatives who are appointed by the General Assembly to consider and discuss specific topics. The Standing Committee is responsible for making recommendations and proposals to the General Assembly concerning legislative matters. The Standing Committee has several subcommittees which focus on a variety of topics, including education, public health, veterans affairs, public safety, and human services. These subcommittees are further divided into separate committees, such as the Committee on Education, Committee on Public Health, Committee on Veterans Affairs, Committee on Public Safety, and Committee on Human Services. Each subcommittee is chaired by a member of the Standing Committee, and the Chairperson has the authority to appoint additional members to the subcommittee. The Standing Committee meets regularly throughout the year to consider and discuss proposed legislation, and to make recommendations to the General Assembly.
