Gov. Ned Lamont has acted upon all 203 bills approved by the Connecticut General Assembly during the 2025 legislative session, significantly fewer bills than the legislature put forth two years ago.
Lamont signed 198 bills into law this summer, including several climate bills and a bill increasing penalties for so-called street takeovers. He vetoed three bills:
- House Bill 7004, which would have allowed Connecticut towns of up to 16,000 people local control by referendum to overturn state environmental rulings
- Senate Bill 8, which would have allowed striking workers to collect unemployment benefits
- House Bill 5002, intended to address the shortage and high cost of housing in the state
