New Year, New Laws

January 3, 2025
 
As the year comes to a close and we head into 2025, I am optimistic about the work we have accomplished this past year and will accomplish in the new legislative session.
 

It's a New Year and there are new laws.  Keep scrolling and click on the link below for the full list.
 
A number of new laws that were passed during the 2024 legislative session will go into effect Wednesday, January 1.

One law will expand Connecticut's paid sick leave policy to all companies with at least 25 employees. This new law lets employees take care of their families without adding any additional stress or financial strain.

It will soon become easier than ever for companies to help employees pay off their student loan debt. Through one law, the tax credit for employers making payments for an employee will be expanded - helping Connecticut residents and businesses alike.

We are also protecting those affected by coerced debt, which is created as a result of a domestic violence victim being forced by an abuser into incurring credit card debt. Credit card companies must now review the details of cases to determine if the debt is coerced debt, and abusers will be held liable for the debt.

Other laws going into effect Jan. 1 include a bill improving the health and safety of Connecticut residents, measures to make our elections more secure, and more.

Looking ahead to the new year, I am excited for all that we will accomplish together. It is my sincere honor to represent you and work on issues that matter to our community and Connecticut.
