Dear Neighbor,

As we gear up for the 2025 legislative session set to begin Jan. 8, I want to wish everyone a safe, healthy and happy New Year.

It's a privilege to represent the 81st District at the State Capitol and I look forward to another productive session.

Please continue reading below for other noteworthy items, and thanks as always for taking the time to read them!
 
New Year Brings New Laws
A number of new laws that were passed during the 2024 legislative session will go into effect today, Jan. 1. Here's a closer look.

It will 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 today include a bill improving the health and safety of Connecticut residents, measures to make our elections more secure, and more.

State Laws Effective Jan. 1
 
Remembering President Carter
“Our common humanity is stronger than the divisiveness of our fears & prejudices.” - Jimmy Carter

Rest in peace, President Carter. A life well-lived and dedicated to helping others.

Thank you, Mr. President.

 
I'm looking forward to a great legislative session and a great year overall.
