Plain-language change summary

The revised bill SB 446 designates the Department of Economic and Community Development as the lead agency in developing a strategic plan for the bioscience sector, whereas the earlier version named Connecticut Innovations, Incorporated as the lead. Additionally, the new version specifies that the marketing and promotional strategy must be created in collaboration with various stakeholders, including the chairpersons and ranking members of related legislative committees. These changes emphasize a more collaborative approach to developing the bioscience sector strategy, which could enhance engagement with relevant parties in the state.
