 One of the most important roles of the Connecticut Restaurant Association is maintaining a vibrant presence at the Connecticut State Capitol.
Each year the legislature meets in the spring to introduce new laws and without a vigilant Government Affairs Committee the restaurant industry would be at risk of facing new and unwanted mandates.
We urge all of our members to take an active role in Government Affairs. Whether you would like to serve on the Government Affairs Committee or can be available to make phone calls and send emails when key legislation is pending, our legislators respond best when they year from the restaurateurs in their districts.
Learn more about the CRA's Legislative Platform and the legislative process in our Legislative 101 Guide.
To participate on the Government Affairs Committee, email Nicole Griffin,

The 2010 Legislative Session wrapped up at midnight on May 5. The General Assembly passed many bills, including an interim budget and a bill to create jobs in CT. While threatened by several pieces of harmful legislation, including mandated paid sick leave, the Connecticut Restaurant Association had a very successful session. We defeated several bills that would have been extremely damaging to the hospitality industry in CT. Please click here to read the full CRA 2010 Legislative Wrap-Up |
