and reduced from 20 to 7 the number of copies to be given the secretary; P.A. 93-180 deleted provision requiring that
private-nature bills be printed at the expense of the party applying therefor before being finally considered and substituted
reference to "Quinnipiac College" for reference to "the University of Bridgeport".
