The Task Force to Study Special Education Services and Funding was created by the Connecticut General Assembly to examine a variety of issues related to special education. Specifically, the Task Force looked at the state's severe special education staffing shortage, the lack of resources for special education, the lack of equity in special education across the state, and the failure to close the state's achievement gap.
Established by section 137 of Conn. Acts 14-217, the State Tax Panel was created to "review the state's overall state and local tax structure." The 22-member panel, which consisted of 14 voting members deemed experts in "tax law, tax accounting, tax policy, economics and state, local and business finance," released its final report and recommendations in late December 2015.
Authorized by Conn. Acts 13-232 and prepared for the Connecticut General Assembly's Finance, Revenue, and Bonding Committee, this report from Connecticut's Department of Revenue Services examines the state's income tax with respect to tax filing status. Included in the report is background information on the state's personal income tax, consideration of alternatives, and a multi-state comparative analysis of tax burden by filing status. Data used in the report is from the 2010 tax year.
Published sporadically from 1986-2009, the Connecticut General Assembly's Office of Fiscal Analysis' Connecticut Revenue and Budget Data report (also referred to as the Tax Facts report) was designed as a "reference tool for legislators interested in putting the state's revenue and budget picture into historical perspective." Each report contains data for 20 years or more regarding "major state taxes and some of the basic expenditure items most often asked for by state legislators." The reports also contain sections discussing "important issues and major state and municipal programs or funds of interest to legislators."
