The Connecticut Mirror’s 2026 legislation tracker is a tool to help our readers track certain bills as they work their way through the legislative process.

Use the “search” box to find specific topics. If viewing on a computer, click on column headers to sort by last action on the bill, and what’s next.

The bills shown here are a select few of the hundreds filed this session — the bills we believe are likely to have the most impact, interest or relevance.

Over the months of a legislative session, many bills expire without action, some are combined with others and a lucky few are debated on the floors of the state Senate and House of Representatives.

But the legislative session is a complicated process, prone to last-minute changes, and this bill tracker is updated manually by CT Mirror reporters and editors. It will be refreshed regularly, but some bill information might not appear immediately.
