Resolution Confirming The Nomination Of The Honorable Gregory T. D'auria Of Amston To Be An Associate Judge Of The Supreme Court And A Judge Of The Superior Court.
Summary
SJ 26 is a joint resolution confirming the Governor’s nomination of the Honorable Gregory T. D’Auria of Amston to serve as an Associate Judge of the Connecticut Supreme Court and as a Judge of the Superior Court. The resolution states that his appointment is for an eight-year term beginning March 8, 2025.
The bill does not create new substantive law or alter statutory policy; instead, it exercises the legislature’s confirmation role over a judicial appointment. Its practical effect is to authorize Judge D’Auria’s continued service on the state’s highest court and the Superior Court under the term specified in the resolution.
Impact
This resolution affects Connecticut’s judicial branch by confirming a sitting jurist to an eight-year term in dual judicial capacities, including the Supreme Court and Superior Court. It does not amend the General Statutes, but it directly impacts the composition of the state judiciary and the administration of justice by filling or continuing a seat through the constitutional appointment-and-confirmation process.
Sentiment
The available voting history suggests broad support for the nomination. The Judiciary Committee reported the resolution favorably without opposition, and both chambers approved it by large margins, indicating a generally positive and noncontroversial reception. The absence of committee transcripts also suggests there was little recorded debate in the materials provided.
Contention
There is little evidence of substantive contention in the record provided. The only notable opposition appears in the floor votes, where a small number of legislators voted no in both the House and Senate. No specific objections are included in the available materials, so any disagreement appears limited and not tied to a documented policy dispute.
