Bill > SB01553

This bill makes two primary changes to existing Connecticut state law. First, it excludes April 20, 2025, from the period of early voting prior to a special election or presidential preference primary, which means that this specific date will not count as part of the designated early voting period. Second, the bill temporarily suspends the municipal spending cap for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026, which means municipalities will not face reductions in their municipal revenue sharing grants if their adopted budget expenditures exceed the previously established spending limit. The bill modifies existing statutes related to early voting procedures and municipal revenue sharing, specifically adjusting the calculation and restrictions on municipal grants. For context, this appears to be a technical adjustment to existing election and municipal funding laws, providing some flexibility for local governments in budgeting and voting procedures. The changes are relatively narrow in scope, targeting a specific date for early voting and providing a one-year suspension of spending cap penalties for municipalities.
