Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
57 provisions identified: 43 benefits, 4 costs, 10 mixed.
Expelled teens keep more education options
Beginning July 1, 2026, students ages 16 to 18 must receive an alternative education offer after their first or second expulsion. Students must want to continue school and follow conditions set by their school board. Expulsions before age 16 count toward the total.
Injured municipal workers gain pension protections
Beginning July 1, 2026, municipalities and special taxing districts cannot cut retirees' pension rights because of qualifying permanent partial disability benefits received from that date. They must count temporary total and temporary partial workers' compensation benefits as wages when calculating pensions. Counted benefits plus other compensation cannot exceed 100% of wages immediately before injury. The wage-counting rule excludes the municipal employees retirement plan under Part II of Chapter 113. Neither rule changes collective bargaining agreements already in effect before July 1, 2026.
Safer crisis drills for schoolchildren
Beginning July 1, 2026, schools must replace one fire drill every three months with a crisis response drill. Starting in 2027–28, drills require advance education, one week's notice, mental health professional involvement, and evaluation. Schools must provide disability accommodations when practicable. Student drills cannot include active-assailant simulations or simulated violence with intense sensory effects. Those simulations are allowed only outside the regular school day, exclusively for staff, first responders, and school volunteers.
Stronger quota protections for warehouse workers
Beginning July 1, 2026, quota protections cover employers with at least 250 workers at one Connecticut warehouse or 1,000 statewide. Quotas cannot block required meals, bathroom use, or reasonable travel time. They cannot measure output over less than a workday or rely only on rankings against coworkers. Employers cannot punish workers for missing unlawful or improperly disclosed quotas, requesting covered records, or filing covered lawsuits. Adverse action within 90 days of the first records request each calendar year is presumed unlawful. Employers must rebut that presumption with clear and convincing evidence of lawful reasons and no retaliation motive.
Warehouse workers gain records and remedies
Beginning July 1, 2026, covered warehouse employers handling quotas or work-speed data must keep accurate records for three years. Records include individual speeds, combined data for similar workers at the same center, and quota descriptions. Current workers who believe a quota breaks the law can request the prior 90 days of records. Former workers can make one request covering the 90 days before leaving. Employers must respond within 10 calendar days, in English and the worker's primary language. Harmed current or former workers can sue; the Attorney General can sue for a group. Courts can award damages, orders stopping violations, and reasonable legal fees and costs. Civil penalties can reach $1,000 for a first violation, $2,000 for a second, and $3,000 for later violations.
Young students gain school discipline protections
Beginning July 1, 2026, preschool through second-grade students can face out-of-school suspension only for conduct on school grounds causing serious physical harm. The school must establish this at the suspension hearing, and suspension cannot exceed five school days. Returning students must receive age-appropriate, trauma-informed services aligned with any behavior, special education, or Section 504 plan. Administrators must consider a special education planning meeting. For all students, schools must notify parents the same day restraint or seclusion begins and reasonably try to notify them immediately.
Confined parents can owe zero support
In state IV-D child-support enforcement cases, existing support orders must drop to zero after more than 90 days of incarceration or institutionalization. A diligent search must find no income or assets available to pay. The receiving parent must get notice and has 15 calendar days to object based on available income or assets. The offense causing confinement no longer separately blocks this change. This lowers the owing parent's obligation but can reduce support for the receiving household.
More interstate collection of overdue support
Connecticut's IV-D child-support agency can direct asset holders to withhold funds when at least $500 in support is overdue. This authority covers another state's qualifying request to enforce an order not registered in Connecticut. The request must meet federal interstate enforcement requirements. Withholding can help receiving families collect support, while reducing funds available to the person who owes it.
New treatment center for disabled veterans
The University of Connecticut Health Center must establish a Center of Excellence for Neuromodulation Treatments. The center can partner with a Connecticut hospital to conduct research and provide treatment to disabled veterans. The law does not guarantee individual treatment or set treatment costs or a funding amount.
School mental health grants for five districts
The law provides school mental health grants for Newington, Wethersfield, Cromwell, Rocky Hill, and Middletown. Funding totals $1.5 million for the year ending June 30, 2026, and $1 million for the year ending June 20, 2027. Programs must provide intensive clinical care, including in-person therapy from clinicians with at least a related master’s degree. Providers must be designated children’s outpatient psychiatric clinics and certified or contracted to bill Medicaid or commercial insurance in Connecticut. The grants do not guarantee services for every student.
Bilingual program data access for families
Beginning July 1, 2026, multilingual learner students and their parents or guardians have a right to view public bilingual-program data. They can use the statewide public school information system to see students’ academic progress and program quality. This gives families information, not a cash benefit.
Madison families gain school enrollment options
Starting with the school year beginning July 1, 2026, Madison is eligible for the student enrollment program with New Haven. Madison can participate as both a sending and receiving district. The law does not set the number of student placements.
Warehouse workers get written quota rules
Beginning July 1, 2026, covered warehouse employers must give workers written quotas and explain possible penalties for missing them. Coverage applies if, during the past 12 months, an employer had at least 250 workers at one Connecticut center or 1,000 statewide. Current workers must receive descriptions by August 1, 2026; workers hired after that date receive them upon hire. Employers must announce a new quota before it starts and provide its written description within two business days.
Candidates get chances to fix filings
Candidates or authorized representatives can correct errors that invalidate timely filed nomination certificates by appearing at the Secretary of the State's office. State or district party-primary certificates have a 4 p.m. deadline on the 19th day after the convention closes. Minor-party certificates for offices voted on at a state election have a 4 p.m. deadline 57 days before the election. Visits cannot occur on weekends or legal holidays; the Secretary can also make and record corrections during these periods. Corrections cannot cure late filing, missing required convention-officer attestation for primary certificates, or missing candidate signatures for minor-party certificates.
Free Agent Now keeps grant funds
The law preserves $200,000 designated for a Free Agent Now grant instead of letting it expire on June 30, 2026. The money remains available after that date. It must still fund the same grant purpose.
Hartford outdoor recreation gets state funding
The law makes up to $2.5 million available for outdoor recreation in Hartford. The money comes from the Office of Policy and Management's fiscal year 2026 Other Expenses budget. It funds recreation purposes, not direct payments to residents.
More municipal votes count as referendums
The law expands which municipal votes count as referendums under the relevant election rules. It includes questions or proposals submitted to municipal voters at meetings held under a charter, home rule ordinance, or special act.
New London veterans group gets funding
The law transfers $174,000 from the Education Department's fiscal year 2026 Other Expenses budget for New London VFW. The Department of Economic and Community Development provides the money as a grant. The two departments must sign an agreement to carry out the transfer.
New safeguards for local voting operations
Early-voting moderators must verify a zero starting ballot count, record daily counts, secure tabulators, and check counts before reopening. Vote totals must be produced after election-day polls close. Registrars must appoint, supervise, and train officials for each day and location processing same-day registrations. A registrar can serve as moderator by agreement, with a coverage plan and no conflicting duties; moderator details are due 14 days before early voting. Replacement moderators cannot have convictions or guilty or no-contest pleas for specified fraud, forgery, larceny, embezzlement, or bribery felonies, or state election crimes. Every polling place must provide sample ballots, voting instructions, rights and provisional-ballot information, and information on fraud laws.
Police receive updated disability interaction training
The Police Officer Standards and Training Council must develop new disability interaction curricula by March 1, 2027. Topics include mental illness, mental and physical disabilities, crisis intervention, and de-escalation. Separate instruction addresses people who are deaf, hard of hearing, or deafblind. The Council must consult people with the specified disabilities and advocates. Council, state police, and municipal basic and review training must use the earlier curriculum through June 30, 2027, then the new curricula.
Towns resolve early voting site disputes
When registrars cannot agree on an early-voting site, the town's legislative body selects it. In towns governed by town meeting, the board of selectmen makes that choice. These bodies also designate additional sites in towns with at least 20,000 residents after the required determination process. The law does not guarantee an additional site.
Two community projects receive state grants
The law makes $70,000 available to the Village Initiative Project from the Judicial Department's fiscal year 2026 Other Expenses budget. It also provides $330,000 for Our Piece of the Pie. That grant comes from the economic development department's fiscal year 2026 Other Expenses budget. Neither grant specifies direct household payments or individual eligibility rules.
Voters gain election dispute safeguards
During the 90 days before an election or primary, the Secretary can seek court orders over voters' election-law complaints. If a moderator finds a district-result discrepancy within three days after an election and a recount is required, it covers the municipality. Officials must review every tabulator and all absentee and write-in ballots used there. Each party can appoint one representative to speak with the moderator; same-party candidates for a recounted office can each appoint one. Candidates can present evidence of recount-procedure problems in an election contest.
Voting sites face yearly approval deadlines
Registrars must certify early-voting and same-day registration sites annually by February 15; state decisions are due March 1. For 2026 early voting, certification and decisions are due 60 and 45 days before each election or primary. For 2026 same-day registration, those deadlines are 45 and 29 days before election day. Changes must be reported within seven days, as soon as practicable for registration sites; state review is due within seven days. Registration-site certifications must identify locations, officials, roles, layout, and processing plans, and sites must provide access to the statewide voter registration system.
Easier approval for some hospital beds
The law expands exceptions to the certificate-of-need approval process for increases in licensed health care beds. Through June 30, 2026, state-owned or state-run hospitals can add beds without that approval when all added beds serve inpatient behavioral health. Converting any added bed to another inpatient service requires a certificate of need. These exceptions do not fund or guarantee any number of new beds.
Updated construction rules for small apartment buildings
The next state building and fire code updates must encourage safe construction of three- and four-unit homes. The codes must cover these buildings under residential-code rules or similar building-code requirements. Those requirements must protect safe occupancy and exits.
Adult education money stays available longer
Unspent money from the $1.7 million adult education appropriation for the year ending June 30, 2026, stays available. It can be used through the year ending June 30, 2027. The money must still support adult education.
Cheshire schools gain upgrade funding access
Cheshire can seek state reimbursement for otherwise ineligible costs of existing or future school energy and infrastructure projects. Projects must use a tax-exempt lease purchase agreement. Covered work includes solar systems, building controls, energy conservation, heating and cooling systems, and roof replacements. The law states no total funding amount.
Hartford schools get more construction time
Hartford has until June 30, 2028, to begin six school projects instead of meeting the usual two-year deadline. They cover Expeditionary Learning Academy at Moylan School, Parkville Community School, and McDonough Middle School. They also cover Montessori Magnet at Batchelder, S.A.N.D. Elementary School, and Maria C. Colon Sanchez Elementary School. The extension does not specify extra funding.
Middlefield school gains state funding options
Regional District 13 can seek a state grant for Middlefield Memorial School, with project costs capped at $76.13 million. The district must apply before October 1, 2025, and meet state school-construction grant requirements. Grant consideration does not guarantee an award. The district can classify the project as a renovation. It can also receive up to $2 million for otherwise ineligible Phase 1 temporary student space costs during construction.
More funding for unemployment claim services
The Labor Department receives $1.7 million for unemployment program staffing and technology for the year ending June 30, 2026. The money offsets declining federal personnel support and helps integrate technology intended to improve applicant service. It funds program operations, not added benefit checks.
More state funding for adult education
The Education Department receives $1.7 million from the General Fund for adult education for the year ending June 30, 2026. Unspent money remains available in fiscal year 2027. The funding does not set individual payments or specify new eligibility rules.
More state help for school projects
Windham can receive 95% state reimbursement for its Windham High School renovation. New London can receive 95% reimbursement for an approved cost increase on its high school project. That increase cannot exceed $10 million and must have been approved by July 1, 2025. Fairfield can receive up to $600,000 for otherwise ineligible costs at Mill Hill Elementary School.
More state support for Middlefield school
The law raises state reimbursement for the entire Middlefield Memorial School project in Regional District 13 by 15 percentage points. The provision does not state the starting reimbursement rate or total added state payment.
School budgets must show spending histories
Beginning July 1, 2026, local school budget estimates must show history for every line item, including copies sent to municipal authorities. Regional boards must include the same history in proposed budgets at public district meetings and budgets at annual meetings. Each line must show original and actual amounts for the two prior fiscal years, plus original and current amounts for the year presented. A separate requirement takes effect January 1, 2027, for superintendents to give local board members these details during budget preparation. That requirement starts with the estimate for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2028.
Schools encouraged to teach Arab studies
Beginning July 1, 2026, the State Board of Education must help and encourage schools to include Islamic and Arab studies. This support depends on available funding and resource materials. The law does not require every school to offer a course.
Schools get guidance on addressing antisemitism
The law creates a working group to develop guidance and resources addressing antisemitism in public schools. Its work covers students, families, educators, and school staff. The group must submit its materials and any legislative recommendations to the legislature's education committee by January 1, 2027. This provision does not require schools to adopt the materials.
Schools must clarify police safety roles
Beginning July 1, 2026, boards assigning school resource officers must have required agreements in place by January 1, 2027. Agreements must cover role limits and training, and be updated at least every three years. Boards must continue sending school safety plans to the state each year. School community members can request portions of those plans, except material whose disclosure is prohibited by law.
Stamford school gains grant consideration
Stamford's new Roxbury Elementary School project is included for state grant consideration. Project costs cannot exceed $130 million. Stamford must meet state school-construction requirements and qualify for grant assistance. Inclusion does not guarantee a grant.
State funds school training and support
Beginning July 1, 2026, the Education Commissioner must direct budgeted funds to the State Education Resource Center. The money supports professional training, technical help, evaluation, policy analysis, and related assistance for listed education groups. The Center must follow spending procedures and conditions set by the Commissioner. The provision states no dollar amount.
State tracks bilingual students' school progress
Beginning July 1, 2026, the statewide school information system must include bilingual education students' academic progress. It must also include the measures and data required to evaluate bilingual programs. This adds program information without changing student eligibility.
Students can earn a civics seal
Beginning July 1, 2026, the Education Department must set standards for a state civics education and engagement seal. Students need at least two school years of history or social science, including U.S. government or civics. They also need a civic engagement project and proof of civics skills through an assessment, portfolio, or other mastery process. Starting with the graduating class of 2027, local and regional school boards can place the seal on qualifying students' diplomas. Boards awarding the seal must also note it on transcripts.
Teacher residency program receives state funding
The Capitol Region Education Council's teacher residency program receives $750,000 in each of two fiscal years. Those years end June 30, 2026, and June 30, 2027. The funding does not establish individual participant payments.
Higher rates for intellectual disability facilities
The law raises payment rates for intermediate care facilities serving people with intellectual disabilities, rather than paying residents directly. For the year ending June 30, 2026, rates rise 3.4% above calculated rates based on 2024 cost reports, adjusted for later increases. Rates rise 5.8% above the June 30, 2026 rate for the year ending June 30, 2027. For the year ending June 30, 2028, rates rise 6.3% above the June 30, 2027 rate; beginning January 1, 2028, a separate 6.3% increase uses the December 31, 2027 rate. Each increase has an exception: a lower rate applies when interim rate status or a department agreement calls for one on that increase’s start date.
Regional schools gain reserve spending flexibility
Beginning July 1, 2026, regional school boards can move qualifying money into reserves for educational spending. The money must already be appropriated to and held in a separate capital and nonrecurring expense reserve they control. Transfers are optional, and the law sets no amount.
Earlier party enrollment cutoff for primaries
Party-enrollment applications covered by this rule now face an 18-day cutoff before a primary, instead of five days. Applying after that cutoff generally delays party-enrollment privileges until after the primary. The rule excepts applications filed in person after noon on the last business day before the primary.
New phone fee funds firefighter cancer relief
Beginning July 1, 2026, telecommunications subscribers pay a nonrefundable fee of $0.05 per month for each access line. Prepaid wireless service is exempt. Providers must give written notice of the amount and frequency by May 1, 2026. The fees go to the firefighters cancer relief account.
Election workers face political activity limits
Early-voting and same-day registration officials cannot work for a political party or candidate on days they are appointed to serve. Early-voting officials cannot visit party headquarters before the time set by law. Same-day registration officials cannot visit party headquarters before their registration site opens.
Less funding for family cash assistance
The law cuts Temporary Family Assistance funding by $3.4 million for the year ending June 30, 2026. This reduces the program budget but does not specify a change to household benefit amounts or eligibility.
Added school screenings and required health forms
Beginning July 1, 2026, school boards can offer annual vision checks in preschool and second grade; these checks are optional. Annual checks remain required in kindergarten and grades one and three through five. School health assessments and screening results must use State Board of Education forms. A school nurse can reject other forms and require resubmission. Forms showing an asthma diagnosis must include an asthma action plan.
Early school entry ends after 2027
From July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, school boards can allow early admission for children under five on September 1. The board must adopt an early-admission policy, and a parent or guardian must request admission in writing. The principal and an appropriate certified staff member must assess the child and find admission developmentally appropriate. Beginning July 1, 2027, boards lose this early-admission authority.
Ballot approval rules change for elections
Clerks must submit each district's state-election and primary ballots for approval at least 10 days before early voting starts. Those ballots cannot be used without the Secretary of the State's approval. Absentee ballots require approval before printing or use. The Secretary retains power to order corrected ballots or other action for errors, but mandatory examination and correction duties are removed. Moderators must electronically report specified absentee-ballot rejections, identifying applicants and reasons, with the required duplicate election list. The log covers unsigned inner-envelope statements and failure to meet the specified provisional-ballot requirements.
Early voters face new ballot procedures
Before marking an early ballot, voters must sign a printed log-book statement under oath that they have not already voted. The Secretary of the State sets the form and posts a sample online. Voters put marked ballots directly into a tabulator instead of an envelope and ballot receptacle. Each day, registrars publicly open the tabulator, seal the ballots, and take them to the municipal clerk for secure storage. Registrars must prepare and test systems before early voting begins, with systems operable one hour before each polling, early-voting, or registration site opens.
One state statutory section is repealed
The law repeals Connecticut General Statutes section 10-234gg. The supplied text does not identify that section's requirements or programs. Its effect on households cannot be determined from these materials.
Voter privacy grows as disclosure narrows
Cast ballots, including write-ins, are exempt from public-records disclosure, but remain available for the specified recounts and audits. Disclosed voter records generally show only birth years; full birth dates require a state governmental purpose approved by the Secretary. Voter data use is limited to election, scholarly, journalistic, political, or government purposes. Personal, private, and commercial uses are barred, including harassment, marketing, and prohibited reproduction or display; violations can bring penalties up to $2,000 per offense. Voters needing safety protection for themselves or family can submit a signed, sworn statement to their local registrar to withhold their name and address. Election officials can still view that information at polling places.
School boards must attend labor talks
Beginning July 1, 2026, at least one local or regional school board member must attend covered education labor negotiations. A board member who belongs to the organization representing a teachers' or administrators' bargaining unit cannot attend those talks. The rule changes participation in negotiations, not pay or benefits.
School racial-balance oversight delayed until 2030
Before July 1, 2030, the State Board of Education cannot notify school boards of racial-imbalance findings. Local and regional boards do not have to prepare and file corrective plans during this period. The State Board also cannot act before that date on plans received on or after July 1, 2024.
