The 2003 Connecticut General Assembly met in regular session from January 8 to midnight on June 4. Legislators drafted over 3,000 bills (i.e., proposed laws) plus about 5,000 amendments over the course of the session. The HBA of Connecticut testified on 60 bills at public hearings. We also worked on many additional bills and amendments.

Public Act 03-___ (PA # not yet assigned) (SB No. 879) (Support) – Establishes a new limited low voltage residential security electrical technician’s license. This bill creates a less strict apprenticeship and licensure requirement for technicians performing this work. Such technicians must work toward their L-6 limited electrical journeyman’s license and must be employed by an electrical contractor holding an E-1 unlimited contractor license or an L-5 contractor license. (Effective October 1, 2003)
