Treneé McGee

A number of new laws, that my colleagues and I worked on during the 2023 legislative session to implement meaningful change in our state, will take effect in Connecticut on July 1.

After months of negotiations, the House of Representatives delivered a state budget that includes the largest income tax cut in the state’s history and significant increases in funding for local schools, also known as Education Cost Sharing (ECS) funds.

State Rep. Treneé McGee (D-West Haven) applauds the passage of the theater tax credit legislation included in the biennium budget for fiscal years 2024-2025. The legislation will provide a 30% tax credit to Broadway touring productions.

I love Spring and the warmer temperatures that come along with it. I hope you and your family are well and had a good holiday weekend.

Connecticut just received an upgraded credit rating from the Kroll Bond Rating Agency, which means that our General Obligation bond credit rating was upgraded from AA (stable) to AA+ (stable), just one step below the highest credit rating possible!

Connecticut voters asked the legislature for more voting options through a constitutional amendment on early voting that they overwhelmingly approved, and we are answering the call.

Today I was joined by my colleagues in the legislature and members of the Connecticut theater community for a press conference supporting H.B 6919. This legislation offers a 30% tax credit to companies that tech their Broadway tours in the state.

Together we spoke on the importance of passing this bill because of its many benefits to theaters and Connecticut communities.

I hope you and your family are well. This is my newsletter for the month of April and below you will see what I have been up to in the legislature and other items that I can be useful to you.
