Friends of Connecticut Sportsmen tracks legislation impacting sportsmen and shares that information via our email distribution list. Each year, hundreds of bills are raised in the General Assembly with a dozen or more that impact sportsmen in one way or another. Bill reports, alerts and calls to action give supporters the information they need to be a vocal, effective block of grassroots advocates. The 2024 Regular Session of the General Assembly convened on February 7th and ends at midnight on May 8th. Friends of Connecticut Sportsmen distributes regular Sportsmen's Capitol Update emails, including bill reports, to keep its supporters up to date on the latest activity throughout the Legislative Session.
