AN ACT EXCLUDING APRIL 20, 2025, FROM THE PERIOD OF EARLY VOTING PRIOR TO THE DAY OF A SPECIAL ELECTION AND SUSPENDING THE MUNICIPAL REVENUE SHARING ACCOUNT SPENDING CAP.

SB 1553 modifies Connecticut's voting rules for special elections and municipal funding. It excludes April 20, 2025, from the early voting period before special elections (which normally runs five days prior, excluding holidays), affecting voters participating in those elections. The bill also suspends a spending cap on municipal revenue sharing funds, allowing towns and cities to use more of these state funds for general operations without the previous limit. This directly impacts Connecticut municipalities receiving revenue sharing grants and voters in upcoming special elections.
