AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE UNION FOUNDATION’S 2017 Ratings of Connecticut

Dear Fellow Conservative,

The American Conservative Union Foundation is proud to present our ratings of the 2017 meeting of the Connecticut General Assembly. Like our Congressional Ratings, which date back 46 years, these ratings are meant to reflect how elected officials view the role of government in an individual’s life. We begin with our philosophy (conservatism is the political philosophy that sovereignty resides in the person) and then apply our understanding of government (its essential role is to defend life, liberty and property).

Because our ratings are designed to educate the public about how consistently their elected officials adhere to conservatism, we carefully examine the entire docket of legislation introduced in each state every year. We select the most meaningful bills and publish the results after the dust has settled. The ACU Foundation is the only organization to score over 8,000 elected officials each year, including lawmakers from all 50 states and Congress.

The 2016 election dramatically impacted the political landscape of not only Washington but state legislative chambers all across the country. Republicans now have control of both legislative chambers in 32 states, more than double the number they controlled in 2010. With these victories comes an ability to implement policies that restore individual liberty and return us to a limited form of government run by and for “We the People.”

It is our hope that these ratings will serve as a guide showing who can be relied on to fight for conservative principles and restore the role of government to what our nation’s founding fathers envisioned.

Sincerely,

Matt SchlappChairmanAmerican Conservative Union

SELECTING THE VOTES

ACU researched and selected a range of bills before the Connecticut General Assembly that determine a member’s adherence to conservative principles. We selected bills that focus on Ronald Reagan’s philosophy of the “three-legged stool”: 1) fiscal and economic: taxes, budgets, regulation, spending, healthcare, and property; 2) social and cultural: 2nd amendment, religion, life, welfare, and education; and 3) government integrity: voting, individual liberty, privacy, and transparency. This wide range of issues are designed to give citizens an accurate assessment that conveys which of Connecticut’s elected leaders best defend the principles of a free society: Life, Liberty and Property.

1. SB 191 Reforming the Occupational Licensing System. This bill requires the Department of Consumer Protection to examine all occupational licenses it issues, recommend licenses that should be removed because they are no longer necessary, and streamline those that should remain. Expanding entrepreneurship promotes economic growth, which leads to greater family prosperity, as illustrated by the ACU Foundation’s Family Prosperity Index. ACU opposes the proliferation of license requirements that are primarily designed to restrict competition and supported this bill as a step in the right direction. The Senate passed the bill on May 3, 2017 by a vote of 32-2.

2. SB 818 Granting Businesses the Ability to Correct Violations. This bill allows a business 30 days to correct a violation of state regulations before any civil penalty is assessed. ACU supports commonsense regulatory reform and supported this bill. The Senate passed the bill on May 17, 2017 by a vote of 26-10.

3. SB 260 Permitting the Testing Driverless Cars. This bill establishes a pilot program to test autonomous vehicles, known as driverless cars, to prepare for their introduction to Connecticut roads. ACU supports the introduction of new technology in a free market and supported this bill. The Senate passed the bill on May 23, 2017 by a vote of 36-0.

4. SB 586 Expanding Health Insurance Mandates. This bill mandates that contraceptive products must be provided for free under health care plans in the state, regardless of the repeal of Obamacare. ACU opposes insurance mandates and believes the use of contraceptives is a matter of individual liberty and not something others should be forced to pay for through higher insurance premiums and opposed this bill. The Senate passed the bill on June 2, 2017 by a vote of 36-0.

5. HB 6266 Providing a Tax Exemption and New Mandates for Boxing. This bill exempts boxing events from the admissions tax and at the same time mandates that fight promoters include health and death benefits to their clients. ACU opposes special tax breaks for one sport over another and opposes insurance mandates that interfere with the right to negotiate benefits and opposed this bill. The Senate passed the bill on June 6, 2017 by a vote of 27-9.

6. HB 7126 Reducing Competition in Ridesharing. This bill establishes regulations for ridesharing companies, including price controls, how drivers are hired and deployed, and a $50,000 nonrefundable annual fee in order to operate in Connecticut. When entrepreneurship is suppressed, the resulting decline in economic growth leads to a reduction in family prosperity, as illustrated by the ACU Foundation’s Family Prosperity Index. ACU opposes these draconian regulations that are designed to restrict competition and drive up the cost of ridesharing for customers and opposed this bill. The Senate passed the bill on June 6, 2017 by a vote of 28-8.

7. HB 6012 Expanding Optometry Regulations. This bill bans a smartphone app that checks people’s eyes and renews prescriptions for contact lenses without an in-person visit to an optometrist. When entrepreneurship is suppressed, the resulting decline in economic growth leads to a reduction in family prosperity, as illustrated by the ACU Foundation’s Family Prosperity Index. ACU opposes banning new products from the market in order to restrict competition and opposed this bill. The Senate passed the bill on June 6, 2017 by a vote of 36-0.

8. HB 7208 Expanding Government Clean Energy Program. This bill expands the Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) Program to include financing for energy efficient new construction. Under the program, the government (that is, taxpayers) pays for energy efficiency projects and long-term purchase agreements and is paid back through a lien on the property and periodic assessments. ACU supports all forms of energy and opposes the PACE program which places taxpayer money at risk with exotic financing for government-favored energy industries and opposed this bill. The Senate passed the bill on June 7, 2017 by a vote of 36-0.

9. HB 7146 Restricting Civil Asset Forfeiture. This bill makes comprehensive reforms to the Civil Asset Forfeiture law, including requiring a criminal conviction before property is permanently seized and placing funds from asset forfeiture in the state’s general fund rather than in local police department or state agency accounts. The ACU Foundation’s Center for Criminal Justice Reform engages heavily on this issue. ACU believes a criminal conviction is necessary to seize assets and supported this bill. The Senate passed the bill on June 7, 2107 by a vote of 36-0.

10. HB 5583 Enlarging the Angel Investor Tax Credit. This bill extends the so-called “Angel Investor Tax Credit” through 2021. This program gives a tax credit for investment in select companies that the government classifies as “emerging technology businesses." ACU opposes giving special tax credits to some individuals and businesses, which shifts the tax burden to other groups who are not favored by the government and opposed this bill. The Senate passed the bill on June 7, 2017 by a vote of 36-0.

11. HB 6880 Reducing Government Housing Mandates. This bill reduces a state housing mandate that requires a certain amount of housing be used for so-called “affordable housing” programs, known as Section 8 housing, in which individuals are given government vouchers to help pay their rent. The ACU Foundation’s Center for 21st Century Property Rights engages heavily on issues that help to safeguard and strengthen the legal protection of private property. ACU opposes government housing mandates that infringe on individuals' rights to develop their properties and supported this bill. The Senate passed the bill on July 24, 2017 by a vote of 24-12.

12. HB 7501 Fiscally Responsible Budget Bill. This bill balances the budget with spending reductions and no new taxes.

The Senate passed the bill on September 15, 2017 by a vote of 21-15.

13. SB 1501 Reclassifying Nuclear Energy to Meet Emission Mandates. This bill is designed to protect utility ratepayers by reclassifying Dominion Energy’s Millstone Nuclear Power Plant as a zero carbon source of energy in order meet the state’s onerous greenhouse gas emissions standards. ACU supports all forms of energy, does not believe government should favor one form of energy over another, and supports this commonsense redefinition that has been blocked by ideological opposition to nuclear energy. The Senate passed the bill on September 15, 2017 by a vote of 23-8.
