The successive statutory amendments leading up to the current revision of § 4-183 (c), and their respective legislative histories, show that the legislature intended to simplify administrative procedures in order to make the administrative process easier, and thus more practically useful to the public. Any interpretation of the statute before us must recognize these legislative policies to be consistent with the intent of the legislature. Johnson v. Manson, 196 Conn. 309, 314, 493 A.2d 846 (1985), cert. denied, 474 U.S. 1063, 106 S. Ct. 813, 88 L. Ed. 2d 787 (1986) (“[i]t is a cardinal rule of construction that statutes are to be construed so that they carry out the intent of the legislature” [internal quotation marks omitted]).
