Anticipated Special Session: November 12–13
For months, lawmakers have signaled the likelihood of a special session at the Capitol. Unlike the regular session, which follows a set calendar, a special session is called when urgent issues demand immediate attention—or when unfinished business can’t wait until next year.
This November 12–13, legislators are expected to return to Hartford to take up critical priorities that affect women and families across Connecticut. Please note: This date may change.
Special sessions move fast and often happen without public hearings, which makes community advocacy and public pressure more essential than ever.
👉 Check out our priorities for the special session and learn how you can take action to help move them forward.
