Conn. Gen. Stat. The UAPA establishes specific requirements for the adoption of regulations by state agencies, including approval by the Regulation Review Committee. Conn. Gen. Stat. The Public Act, however, creates an express exception from the requirements of the UAPA for temporary regulations to implement the Act. Conn. Gen. Stat.
Statutory language is unambiguous if it is susceptible to only one reasonable interpretation.
The legislature is presumed to have expressed its intent through the actual language used in a statute. Therefore, in the absence of ambiguity, statutory language should be interpreted without reference to extrinsic evidence of intent and must be afforded its plain and ordinary meaning. The language used in Section 92 is clear and can sustain only one reasonable construction. Although the Public Act contemplates that these rules shall have a temporary, rather than a permanent, character, the only limitation on their duration is found in the final clause of Section 92. That clause provides that the temporary rules are effective until such time as regulations are in fact adopted and approved.
