The Connecticut General Assembly’s “short session” opens on February 4 and concludes on May 6. In a “short session”, the legislature typically only makes adjustments to the biennial budget.
As in past years, CFSA will be tracking bills that impact on the food system. Every week, we’ll post updates on those bills as they move through the legislature. The list will be available here and updated weekly via our email listserv – you can sign up for the listserv here. We hope this information makes it easier for you to advocate for a sustainable, equitable food system! If you find this useful, please this page with colleagues and friends to grow our alliance.
Follow along here to see what bills we’re tracking and get connected on our listserv for weekly updates delivered right to your inbox!

Disclaimer about bills tracked by the CFSA:
The Connecticut Food System Alliance uses systems thinking in our work, as well as a racial and social justice lens. We take a broad approach to tracking bills that have an impact on the food system: issues of public health, labor rights and minimum wage, and land use often end up on our tracked bill list. Tracking a bill does not mean the CFSA supports or opposes the bill – only that it would have an impact on the food system. If you think any bill is missing from our tracking, let us know!
