Hartford, Conn./WTIC Radio - Wednesday is the opening of the 2025 Connecticut legislative session.

Governor Lamont will deliver a state of the state address to a joint session in the Hall of the House.

New members--20 in the state House, 2 in the Senate--will be sworn in.

Leadership in both caucuses will remain largely the same.

Top on the to-do list this long session: implementation of a new two-year budget.

The state is currently enjoying a roughly $4 billion dollar surplus in its so-called "rainy day" fund and around $400-million in the general fund.

Lawmakers are also expected to debate revisions to fiscal guardrails to control spending.

The session runs through June 4th.

WTIC News/Talk 1080 will carry the governor's address, set to begin shortly after noon.
