It's a privilege to represent the 27th District at the state Capitol and I look forward to another productive session.

Just a reminder that a new set of laws will take effect in the state on Wednesday. Here's a closer look.

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 on Jan. 1 include a bill improving the health and safety of Connecticut residents, measures to make our elections more secure, and more.

You can click the link below for the full list of laws going into effect, and please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.

Please see below for more details. Hopefully you can make it for at least one of them to learn more about the upcoming legislative session as well as provide your input on what you'd like to see up at the state Capitol. 

A reminder that I am the 27th District's tireless advocate and will do everything I can for you and our neighbors. Together we can, and will, accomplish great things.
