The legislative record in support of P.A. 79-163 provides: “In 1977, however, the General Assembly adopted P.A. 77-603, which made the appeal process uniform from all state agencies. That statute has been held to require that both service and filing be completed within the [thirty] day period. Bagley v. Rice, [Superior Court, judicial district of Waterbury (1978), cert. denied, 176 Conn. 769, 397 A.2d 119 (1979)]. This imposes an intolerable burden on the person aggrieved by the agency’s decision, especially if he proceeded before the agency without a lawyer. He must wait for the agency’s decision to arrive by mail, try to find a lawyer and get an appointment, have his lawyer research the appeal and prepare the papers, and have *519the papers given to a sheriff, served on the agency, and filed with the court — all within [thirty] days. The time limit is so short that it can, as a practical matter, deny many people the right to appeal.” (Emphasis added.) Conn. Joint Standing Committee Hearings, Judiciary, Pt. 2, 1979 Sess., p. 521, remarks of Attorney Raphael L. Podolsky on behalf of the legal services training and advocacy project.
