Delivering Historic Progress, Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont Expands Universal Child Care, Lowers Costs, Boosts Public Education, and Enacts Commonsense Gun Safety Reforms

Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont delivered historic progress this week for Connecticut, signing into law free school breakfasts for students, a ban on convertible and ghost guns, a major expansion of affordable child care, key investments in public education, and protections from the Trump administration’s abuses.

These bills, all passed during the legislative session that ended yesterday, represent landmark achievements in making Connecticut more affordable, defending our democracy, and expanding opportunity in the Nutmeg State.

During this session, Gov. Lamont made historic progress to… 

• Provide free school breakfast to all students so they can focus on learning at school
• End the sales tax on school supplies
• Lower electric bills by over $30 per month
• Expand affordable childcare
• Sign historic legislation to stand up to the Trump administration’s abuses 
• Universal absentee voting
• Ban convertible guns and ghost guns
• Make historic investments in public education

“Gov. Ned Lamont has always been a results-oriented leader, and the progress he has accomplished this session proves he’ll stop at nothing to build a stronger Connecticut,” said DGA spokesperson Kevin Donohoe. “Gov. Lamont is incredibly popular because he’s stood up to Trump and fought every day to make Connecticut more affordable and deliver big, historic wins on child care, gun safety reform, and education.”
