Connecticut Voices for Children released a new report, “2025 Legislative Summary.” The document provides a high-level review of many of the bills our organization supported this session. Typically our budget year document is more comprehensive. However, this year is unusual in that our team was (and continues to be) deeply engaging in both the state and federal policy fights.  So, while a number of other bills passed both chambers of the General Assembly, and countless others were proposed, it’s important to note that this document only includes the bills that we submitted testimony on during the public hearing process and that made substantial progress or were enacted.

As always, we want to acknowledge that our successes are a result of deep community partnership with values-aligned people, organizations and coalitions who showed up every week in myriad ways this legislative session. Although there are too many to name—you know who you are—THANK YOU.
