Connecticut General Assembly Office of Legislative Research

The Office of Legislative Research ("OLR") is the Connecticut General Assembly's nonpartisan research arm. We staff all nonfiscal Legislative committees; write more than 1,500 reports annually for legislators and committees; analyze bills; summarize public acts; prepare reports summarizing acts affecting particular occupations, industries, and segments of the population; summarize major acts passed each session; and perform other services for the Legislature.
