Proclaiming that the state is at a “critical point in its post-pandemic growth,” the Connecticut Business & Industry Association on Wednesday released its 2024 legislative policy pledge.

The state’s largest business organization said its 12-point package of policy solutions is intended to “unlock and reimagine” Connecticut’s economy.

“The ReimagineCT policy solutions help us seize the moment to expand our workforce, grow our economy, and improve our quality of life,” said CBIA president and CEO Chris DiPentima.

The recommended solutions are specifically designed to: 

  • Identify long-term policies to lower energy costs and improve our energy infrastructure.
  • Allow small businesses access to affordable, high-quality health insurance options for employees.
  • Boost manufacturing and trades job growth.
  • Align graduation and school accountability index requirements to focus on career readiness and provide new paid internship opportunities.
  • Implement first-time homebuyer tax incentives.
  • Support childcare initiatives to expand access and affordable options for working parents.
  • Restore the pass-through entity tax credit to its original level.
  • Encourage research and development growth.
  • Streamline state and local permitting.
  • Leverage councils of governments to share services and take advantage of federal grant opportunities to reduce property taxes, and
  • Increase civil justice transparency through third-party litigation funding reform.

Rather than endorse candidates for elected office, CBIA is encouraging them to sign the ReimagineCT policy pledge, DiPentima said.  

“This is an opportunity for those seeking office to show their commitment to our great state and its residents,” he said.
