CT's 2023 Legislative Session: A Recap of Bills Passed and Left Behind

The 2023 Connecticut legislative session ended with a few wins, including tax cuts for single filers earning less than $150,000, an expansion of gun laws, and the implementation of a Baby Bonds program. The session also saw losses, including limited funding for nonprofit service providers, a lack of progress on zoning reform, and the failure to continue universal school lunches. The budget includes an extra $150 million for higher education, but the Connecticut State College and University System warns it's still facing a $335.1-million deficit over the next two years.
