The 2017 Connecticut state legislative regular session started January 4th and Adjourns June 7th.
The first few days are mostly formalities, but now we're starting to
see the first proposed gun bills coming out. Remember, these are just proposed
bills right now, but this is the best time to kill the bad ones and
prevent them from moving ahead, or voice your support for the good ones.
CCDL
is also going to try and start tracking more sportsmen related bills,
since there is a lot of overlap between gun owners and sportsmen. You'll
see those bills listed after the gun bills.
These
are just the bills announced today. You can always see the FULL list of
bills CCDL is tracking by clicking the "Pending Legislation" button
