FEATURED STORY
2025 Acts Affecting Veterans and the Military
The Office of Legislative Research released a report summarizing 2025 legislation impacting veterans and the military.
“The people of Connecticut want common sense, a fair deal, and their state government to work for them. They know what is best for their families and them. My goal is to take this message to the Capitol for you, working to deliver solutions that make your lives better.”
The Office of Legislative Research has released a report summarizing new laws enacted during the 2025 regular legislative session that significantly affect veterans and the military. As Ranking Member of the Veterans and Military Affairs Committee, I am committed to ensuring our veterans and service members are always supported.
If you have any questions or concerns about these laws, please feel free to contact my office at jeffrey.gordon@cga.ct.gov or visit www.ctsenaterepublicans.com/2026/01/2025-acts-affecting-veterans-and-the-military/. I would be happy to discuss these updates with you.
Did you know that on Jan. 1st, several major provisions of the statewide zoning takeover bill, H.B. 8002, went into effect? This sweeping law was rushed through the legislature by Democrats in an “emergency” special session without a single public hearing, shutting out residents, local officials, and community voices.
