Legislative Committee

Our Legislative Committee brings industry leaders together to help shape policies that impact Connecticut’s hospitality sector. Committee members review proposed legislation, share real industry experiences and help inform our advocacy priorities.

The committee represents a broad range of hospitality businesses, from restaurants and caterers, to hotels and more. Their firsthand perspectives help ensure our advocacy reflects the realities facing businesses across Connecticut, and helps policymakers understand the impact of proposed laws.

The committee meets several times throughout the year and more frequently during legislative session to discuss emerging issues, develop positions and help drive our advocacy efforts.
