Following the legislature’s approval of technical revisions to the bipartisan budget passed last month, older and disabled renters are slated to receive their state refund checks under the Connecticut Renters’ Rebate Program.

In an effort to protect Connecticut’s most vulnerable residents – its senior citizens – the House of Representatives passed Senate Bill 772, which requires emergency generators in certain elderly housing establishments.

A bill that would ensure elderly persons have sufficient backup power in emergencies passed in the Senate. Senate Bill 772 requires that the owners shall install and maintain one or more emergency power generators capable of providing a minimum of four to 12 hours of sufficient electrical power to (1) each unit for heating, water, lighting and critical medical equipment, and (2) each passenger elevator.

Rep. Jason Rojas joined his legislative colleagues and college students in urging the passage of legislation that would make Connecticut more affordable for college graduates. He also supports new legislation that would exempt Social Security benefits from the state income tax.
