The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 5110, seeks to amend section 2-15a of the general statutes to allow members of the General Assembly to utilize digital advertising services on social media platforms as a means of official legislative communication. This change would enable legislators to reach their constituents more effectively by opting for digital outreach instead of relying solely on traditional mailings.
The intent of the bill is to modernize the methods of legislative communication and enhance constituent engagement by providing an alternative to conventional mailing practices. By permitting the purchase of digital advertising for official communications, the bill aims to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of how legislators connect with the public.
