Operative Text
The judges hearing housing matters and the Connecticut Advisory Council on Housing Matters shall each submit a report, in accordance with the provisions of section 11-4a, with respect to the operation of the special docket for housing matters and their respective recommendations to the General Assembly at the opening of its regular sessions in the odd-numbered years. Such reports may also include recommendations for legislation with respect to housing matters.
Under Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47a-73, judges who hear housing matters and the Connecticut Advisory Council on Housing Matters are each required to submit reports to the General Assembly at the start of regular sessions held in odd-numbered years. These reports must address how the special housing-matters docket is operating and may include recommendations for new housing legislation. The provision establishes a formal, recurring channel through which judicial and advisory perspectives on housing law reach the state legislature.

Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47a-73 creates a biennial reporting structure that can influence future housing legislation in Connecticut. Property owners and managers who follow housing-court trends may find these reports useful for understanding how the special housing docket is functioning and what legislative changes may be on the horizon. Compliant operators generally stay informed about legislative developments that could affect landlord-tenant obligations.

Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47a-73 establishes that both the judges overseeing housing cases and the Connecticut Advisory Council on Housing Matters must report to the General Assembly every two years on how the housing docket is working. These reports can include recommendations for new tenant-protective legislation, meaning tenants' collective experiences in housing court may indirectly shape future law. Tenants interested in influencing those recommendations may consider reaching out to tenant-rights organizations or the Advisory Council to share concerns about housing-court operations.
