S.B. 167, An Act Establishing a Tax Credit for Businesses that Hire Formerly Incarcerated People
Establishing a Connecticut tax credit is one tool in the chest when it comes to helping people with a criminal history get employment. We believe in using this tool and others that will bring about an end to the employment barriers and discrimination faced by people with a criminal record.

H.B. 5052, An Act Concerning the Theft of Waste Vegetable Oil or Animal Fats
This bill proposes to quadruple the maximum punishment for theft of used cooking oil of any or no value. This is an unnecessary overcriminalization. We urge the legislature to oppose this bill.

H.B. 7332, An Act Concerning Public Safety and the Welfare of Repeat Juvenile Offenders and Their Victims
As an organization committed to justice and equality, the ACLU-CT strongly opposes this unnecessary bill, which would cause more juveniles to be transferred to the adult criminal system by including car theft as an offense eligible for transfer.
