REP. DAVIS IS APPOINTED CHAIR OF THE REGULATIONS
REVIEW COMMITTEE BY SPEAKER DONOVAN

State Representative Paul Davis (D-Orange/Milford/West Haven) has been appointed Chairman of the Regulations Review Committee of the General Assembly by House Speaker Christopher Donovan (D-Meriden).

The appointment is effective immediately.

In announcing Rep. Davis’s appointment, House Speaker Donovan said, “I am confident that your efforts will produce significant contributions to the legislative process.

The committee has oversight over regulations written by state agencies to ensure that the regulations written by those agencies are consistent with state law. The chairmanship of the committee is shared by both parties.

“I am honored that Speaker Donovan has appointed me Chair of the Regulations Review Committee,” Rep. Davis said. “The committee serves an important role in the legislative process to carry out the intent of authorizing legislation passed by the General Assembly.”

Rep. Davis, a committee member for seven years, replaces Timothy O’Brien, who has resigned from the legislature following his election as New Britain’s mayor.
