Connecticut General Assembly

What Connecticut General Assembly does

The Connecticut General Assembly (CGA) is the bicameral state legislature of Connecticut, established in 1788 following state ratification of the U.S. Constitution. It comprises the House of Representatives (151 members) and the Senate (36 members), with regular sessions convened biennially — odd-numbered years hosting longer policy sessions and even-numbered years hosting shorter budget sessions. The most recent completed Regular Session convened February 4, 2026 and adjourned May 6, 2026. CGA is headquartered at the State Capitol in Hartford, with supporting operations in the adjacent Legislative Office Building.

CGA operates a web-based legislative information platform anchored at cga.ct.gov, which delivers bill search (Quick Bill Search, Advanced Bill and Document Search), an authenticated Bill Tracking System, the codified Connecticut General Statutes organized across 55 titles, session and committee management tools, a Freedom of Information Records Center, and a suite of mobile web applications. The underlying architecture is described as interconnected web services rather than a unified modular platform. Broadcast of proceedings is delivered through a partnership with CT-N (Connecticut Network), and Connecticut's Old State House is co-managed with the Connecticut Democracy Center as a National Historic Landmark and civic education site.

CGA is a government state entity funded through Connecticut state appropriations; it does not sell products or services in the commercial sense. The only ancillary revenue is fees collected by the Legislative Bill Room for official paper copies of legislative documents. Its primary constituents are Connecticut citizens, who access legislative information, track bills, find legislators, and participate in public hearings through the CGA portal. Multiple commissions operate under the CGA umbrella, including those focused on racial equity in public health, equity for women, children, and seniors, and uniform state legislation.
