The Connecticut General Assembly has a webpage that lists the public acts effective on January 1, 2025.
Included in some of the new public acts are:
An Act Expanding Paid Sick Days in the State - Public Act 24-8, sections 1-6 - from the summary: "This act expands the state’s paid sick leave law in numerous ways. The prior paid sick leave law generally required certain employers with at least 50 employees to give up to 40 hours of paid sick leave annually to their 'service workers' in certain specified occupations (e.g., food service workers, health care workers, and numerous others). The act expands the law by, among other things: 1. covering nearly all private sector employees and employers with at least 25 employees in 2025, those with at least 11 employees in 2026, and then those with at least one employee in 2027 (the act exempts seasonal employees and certain union construction workers and their employers); 2. broadening the range of family members for whom an employee may use the leave; 3. increasing the rate at which employees accrue leave and changing the waiting period before they may use it; and 4. broadening the reasons employees may use the leave to include events like closures due to a public health emergency and quarantines."
An Act Incentivizing Student Loan Repayment Assistance - Public Act 24-52, section 1 - from the summary: "This act expands the student loan payment tax credit for qualified employers that make eligible student loan payments on a qualified employee’s behalf."
An Act Concerning Coerced Debt - Public Act 24-77 - from the summary: "This act prohibits anyone from knowingly making another individual liable for 'coerced debt' (i.e., generally, certain credit card debt incurred by a domestic violence victim who was coerced into incurring it). The act also imposes specific obligations and responsibilities on coerced debt 'claimants' (e.g., consumer collection agencies)."
An Act Concerning Adoption of the Connecticut Uniform Trust Decanting Act - Public Act No. 24-104 - from the summary - "This act adopts the Connecticut Uniform Trust Decanting Act. Generally, a trust decanting occurs when a trust’s authorized fiduciary (typically, the trustee), in line with authority granted by the trust, modifies the trust’s terms or distributes property from it to another trust. Existing law recognizes decanting but does not set specific procedures or standards for it."
An Act Concerning Business Registrations Filed with the Secretary of the State - Public Act 24-111, sections 1-39, 51 and 53-56 - from the summary: "This act makes various changes in laws that govern certain business entities operating in the state. Among other things, the act also expands the trade name law, expands the authority of the secretary of the state (SOTS), and makes changes to the Connecticut Business Registry."
