Dear Friends,

Happy Tuesday!

Veterans – I'm reaching out with an invitation to an important public hearing hosted by the Veterans' and Military Affairs Committee on Thursday, Feb. 13, at 11:30 a.m. in Room 1C of the LOB, with virtual access via Zoom and YouTube Live.
 
There will also be a FREE tour of the CT Legislative Office Building and the Capitol at 9:15 a.m.

 

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)
