Veterans' & Military Affairs Committee Public Hearing Tomorrow

February 12, 2025

 

I'm reaching out with an invitation to an important public hearing hosted by the Veterans' and Military Affairs Committee tomorrow, February 13, at 11:30 a.m. in Room 1C of the Legislative Office Building (LOB), with virtual access via Zoom and YouTube Live. 
 
There will also be a FREE tour of the LOB and the Capitol at 9:15 a.m. As a Marine, I remain fully committed to supporting all of our veterans.

This hearing will address several key legislative proposals directly impacting veterans, including:

  • Property Tax Exemptions (SB 1091, SB 1276) for veterans, including those who are 100% disabled
  • No-Cost Driver’s License Renewals for veterans (SB 1150) and Free Ridership on Veterans Day (HB 6728)
  • Affordable Housing for Disabled and Elderly Veterans (SB 1277, HB 6764, HB 6768)
  • Reimbursement of Fees and Specialty License Plates for veterans (HB 5787, HB 6722, HB 6734)
  • Recognition & Support Initiatives (HB 5787, 6722), including Veterans' Month designation (HB 6723) and protections against predatory benefit claims assistance (HB 6874, HB 6909)
  • Support for the CT Veterans Cemetery (HB 5117)
  • Dental Support for Veterans (HB 6755)

Your testimony on this legislation - whether sharing personal experiences, advocating for better resources, or supporting fellow veterans - can make a significant impact. You can participate in person, via Zoom, or by submitting written testimony.
