AN ACT CONCERNING SOLAR PROJECTS THROUGHOUT THE STATE.

Maddy summaryThis bill updates Connecticut's property tax laws to provide exemptions for solar projects and other renewable energy systems installed on or after October 1, 2024. It directly affects homeowners, farmers, and businesses by allowing them to exclude the value of these energy-generating installations from their property tax assessments. The law requires property owners to submit a written application to their local assessor to claim this tax benefit, ensuring the system only covers the value added by the renewable equipment itself. By repealing an older definition, the legislation clarifies and expands the scope of eligible solar technologies for tax relief across the state.

AN ACT SUPPORTING CONNECTICUT SENIORS AND THE IMPROVEMENT OF NURSING AND HOME-BASED CARE.

Maddy summaryThis bill creates a state-run registry to help connect seniors and their families with qualified home care providers while improving oversight of these workers. Starting in 2025, the registry will allow users to search for caregivers based on specific skills like language proficiency and certifications, and it will also assist providers with recruitment, training, and benefits. The legislation mandates that agencies hiring home companions require new employees to complete training on recognizing and responding to harassment, abuse, and discrimination by clients. Additionally, the bill directs a state council to develop plans for better recruiting, training, and wage standards for personal care attendants to ensure higher quality care.
