The 2025 state legislative session came to a close on June 4th, and we’re proud of what we accomplished together. Thank you to everyone who raised their voice, showed up, and fought for meaningful change. This year, we advanced policies that expand economic opportunity, improve access to essential services, and meet basic needs head-on.
With the 2025 session ending tomorrow evening, updates will continue to roll in throughout the day. Over the past few days, legislators voted on Child Tax Credit, Early Childhood Education investments and nonprofit funding.
State legislators are making final decisions right now, and the legislative budget is expected late next week. Your voice matters—every email and phone call counts!
Here’s how you can help:
The legislative session ends June 4th. The time to show your support is now! Every email, call and letter counts.
With less than a month left in the legislative session (ending June 4), state leaders are deep in negotiations over Connecticut’s budget.
As we move through the final 4 weeks of the legislative session, bills and budgets will be negotiated and heard on the floor. The CT Child Tax Credit is included in the budget proposal, but that does not guarantee that it will pass as-is at the end of session June 4th.
We’re closer than ever — let’s finish strong! We can create a meaningful CT Child Tax Credit that uplifts families and communities.
With 5 weeks remaining in the session, there is still plenty of time to speak up as both the spending and revenue proposals are negotiated, and bills are heard on the floor. Inclusion in the proposals does not guarantee that it will pass in June. Your legislators and the Governor need to hear from you! Let’s keep the momentum going!
Thank you for your support!
The CT Child Tax Credit is in the legislative budget proposal!
This week, the Connecticut legislature will propose their own versions of the state budget and bond package. In May, legislative leaders and the Governor will negotiate a final budget compromise, which will then go to the full General Assembly for a vote.
Once passed, the Governor can either sign the budget or veto it. If vetoed, legislators can attempt to override the veto with a two-thirds majority or return to negotiations. The legislative session ends on June 4.
The Finance, Revenue and Bonding Committee will hear important bills for the CT Child Tax Credit and School Meals for All this morning at 11 am. You can watch here. Although the window to submit testimony for consideration at the hearing has passed, you can still show your support!
Fully fund Stamford Public Schools! The Stamford Board of Education is asking the Board of Finance and the Board of Representatives to approve at 5.92% or ~$19M increase to the operating budget. The budget includes no-cost school meals for all students, health insurance premiums for staff, DOMUS family advocates program and critical staff positions.
