More town employees can join finance boards
Beginning October 1, 2026, more Connecticut municipal employees can serve on finance boards in the towns where they live. Employees qualify if their total municipal employment stipend was less than $10,000 during the previous 12 months. Existing exceptions for service allowed by a municipal charter or home rule ordinance remain. Employees can also still serve through membership on the town’s legislative body. Employees cannot serve on a body that directly supervises them.
