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
