Public hearings were held this week in the Environment Committee regarding Raised Senate Bill 207 and Raised Senate Bill 274. These bills could now be voted on at any time before Monday, March 22, which is the deadline to move bills out of committee.
SB207 is designed to reduce the recent fee increases associated with hunting and fishing licenses. While in concept, the NRA supports this bill, there are several aspects of the bill that the NRA cannot support. Several different bills were considered to lower the fee increases. Please call the members of the Environment Committee, as well as your State Legislator, and ask them to support alternative language to this bill that has been proposed by The Coalition of Connecticut Sportsmen and backed by the NRA.

SB274 would prohibit the "unreasonable" confinement and tethering of dogs. This legislation could affect those who own dogs bred or trained for hunting by limiting their ability to kennel, transport, and house dogs bred for the purpose of hunting. NRA strongly opposes this measure.
Please contact your State Legislators and respectfully urge them to support alternative language proposed by the Coalition of
