Connecticut Senate Bill 745, drafted by the Senate Bank Committee, was referred to the Joint Banking Committee and was heard on March 2. The measure, consistent with recent enhanced disclosure laws in California and New York, exempts equipment leases as defined in section 42a-2A-102 of the general statutes. That section is titled “Uniform Commercial Code Article 2A – Leases Section 42a-2A-102” and has the citation CT Gen Stat § 42a-2A-102 (2013). ELFA has worked to educate Connecticut policy makers and leadership and will continue to monitor this bill closely. Your views of this development can be shared with ELFA Vice President, State Government Relations Scott Riehl.
• 39 state legislatures are in regular session
• 11 states are not in session and are pre-filing (FL, LA)
• 1 state is in special session (VA)
*Note that Florida’s session began 3/2.
With 39 states currently in session, your team at ELFA is working to review and, where needed, to address all legislation filed that impacts your interests. ELFA’s efforts are focused on identifying any and all measures that would wrongly infringe on the operations of ELFA members in the commercial sector, addressing those bills that require our attention and conversely promoting legislation that addresses industry needs.
Traditionally ELFA has projected that more than 180,000 state legislative bills will be filed across the 50 states on a yearly basis. In 2021 ELFA projects this number will increase significantly due to the interruptions caused by the pandemic, the closing down of state legislative chambers and the backlog of legislative filings not addressed or permitted due to the shortened legislative session. Of that more than 180,000 state legislative filings, ELFA estimates there will be more than 2,000 bills introduced in 2021 that may impact our members’ interests.
