State Rep. Steve Weir Takes Oath, Receives Committee Assignments
HARTFORD – State Representative Steve Weir has taken the oath-of-office for his first term representing the 55th General Assembly District which includes the towns of Andover, Bolton, Glastonbury, Hebron, and Marlborough.
For the 2023-2024 legislative session, State Representative Weir has been assigned to the Labor, Higher Education, and Housing Committees.
“I am both excited and honored to begin serving in the CT House of Representatives,” said Rep. Weir. “While there are many issues facing Connecticut, I look forward to working alongside my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to find common ground wherever we can. I am committed to doing my best work for the residents of the 55th district.”
Wednesday’s ceremony kicked off the start of the legislature’s “long session” which runs from January 4 through June 7. Connecticut’s legislature is part-time, with regular sessions held from January to June in odd-numbered years, and from February to May in even-numbered years. The “long session” is used to establish a state budget and introduce bills of a general nature. In the even-year “short session” the legislature can only consider bills directly related to the state budget, revenue, and financial matters, as well as committee bills or resolutions, and those matters certified to be of an emergency nature.
