Rep. Fishbein Returns as Ranking Member of Judiciary Committee

Will also serve on Public Safety and Regulations Review Committees

The Connecticut House Republican Caucus announced that State Representative Craig Fishbein (R-90) will return to his role as Ranking Member of the legislature’s powerful Judiciary Committee for the 2023-2024 legislative session.

In addition to making the Ranking Member assignments, House Republican Leader Vincent Candelora also announced legislative committee assignments for the upcoming session, appointing Rep. Fishbein to the Public Safety and Security Committee and the Regulations Review Committee for the session that begins on January 4, 2023. Ranking members serve as a liaison to caucus members regarding the important issues from each individual committee.

“I would like to thank Rep. Candelora for once again placing his trust in me to serve as Ranking Member of the Judiciary Committee and I look forward to continuing to build upon the work we were able to accomplish last session, including efforts to reduce juvenile crime,” Rep. Fishbein said.

According to the General Assembly website, the Legislative Regulation Review Committee “review(s) regulations proposed by state agencies and approve them before regulations are implemented.”  The “Public Safety and Security Committee has cognizance of all matters relating to (A) the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection, and (B) civil preparedness and homeland security, state police, the state-wide organized crime investigative task force, municipal police training, fire marshals, the fire safety code, the state building code, and legalized gambling.”

During his first three terms, Rep. Fishbein served on the Government Administration and Elections (GAE), Environment, Energy and Technology, Commerce, Public Safety and Security, and the Labor Committee.
