HARTFORD, CT – Democratic representatives are once again advocating for a child tax credit after a similar effort came up short during the 2024 legislative session.
House Bill 5986, An Act Establishing a Refundable Child Tax Credit Against the Personal Income Tax, has the support of over 60 Democratic legislators and aims to provide much-needed financial relief to Connecticut families.
At a news conference Tuesday, state Reps. Kate Farrar, D-West Hartford, and Antonio Felipe, D-Bridgeport, stood alongside parents and advocates to discuss the growing need for a permanent child tax credit in response to the rising cost of living.
