I am proud to announce that last week the House passed HB 5004, An Act Increasing the Fair Minimum Wage. Under this bill, the minimum wage will increase to $11 an hour in October 2019, $12 an hour in 2020, $13 an hour in 2021, $14 an hour in 2022, and $15 an hour in 2023.
Protecting the residents of our state from discrimination in the health insurance market is one of my top priorities and I’m very happy to tell you we are continuing to make progress on that issue this legislative session.
I was incredibly proud to lead the debate and House of Representatives today in unanimously passing legislation I wrote making it easier to track down slumlords hiding behind corporate entities.
Last night, my Housing Committee Co-Chair, Senator Anwar, and I hosted a Housing informational discussion in Hartford. We had a great conversation about the bills the Housing Committee has passed, and I learned a lot about our community's concerns.
