HB 5027 Connecticut House · 2026 Regular Session

AN ACT AUTHORIZING LEGISLATIVE FRANKING PRIVILEGES FOR DIGITAL ADVERTISING.

HB 5027 would allow state legislators to use social media ads instead of physical mailings for official communications with constituents. It directly affects members of the General Assembly by providing a new option for outreach. The key provision amends existing law to permit digital advertising on platforms like Facebook or X as a replacement for traditional mailings. This change aims to reduce mailing costs while potentially improving how legislators connect with voters. The bill does not alter voting rights or create new regulations for constituents.
