A bill that would have brought the state’s tipping regulations in line with federal regulations was not brought up for a veto override vote earlier this week. I previously covered the subject in prior posts here and here.
According to a report in CT Mirror, a “deal” is now being sought that would allow
Late Friday, Governor Lamont vetoed House Bill 5001, which I had highlighted in an earlier post as being passed during the waning hours of the legislative session.
That bill would have rescinded a particular labor regulation and required the Department of Labor to promulgate a new regulation in its place.
In vetoing the measure,
Last month, the General Assembly passed a bill in the closing hours of the legislative session that would have voided certain non-compete agreements in the event that a business was merged or acquired. It was a watered-down version of a bill that had been weaving its way through the legislature that would have placed
I can’t say I saw this one coming.
I’ve previously reported on a bill (H.B. 5207) that passed the legislature. That bill restricts the use of background checks for prospective state employees until after job offers have been made.
Yesterday, Governor Rell vetoed the measure (H/T CT Mirror). In her veto message, she states

The Connecticut Senate voted late today to override the veto of the minimum wage bill that was 
sent to Gov. Rell last month. The vote was 25-9 in the Senate. The vote completes the override process of the minimum wage bill that I discussed here earlier today.
Thus, effective January 1, 2009, the minimum
In a bit of a surprise (and in a busy day for employment law in Connecticut), Governor Rell vetoed a bill which would have increased the minimum wage to $8/hour starting Jan. 1, 2009 (and $8.25/hour in 2010). The veto to House Bill 5105 (H.B. 5105) also effectively kills Senate Bill 55 (S.B. 55) which dealt
A couple of weeks after President Bush’s pocket veto of a defense bill that included expansion of FMLA for military leave, Congress has again passed a defense bill with the same FMLA provision. President Bush is now expected to sign the measure because it does not contain certain language that he found objectionable (unrelated
As I predicted last month, Congress will quickly take up the bill regarding defense spending (which also includes a provision for protected leave for military families) this week, when it opens its 2008 session.
The New York Times is reporting this morning that a resolution of the issues which resulted in the President’s pocket veto of
