Legislative Day

CTPCA’s Legislative Day provides members with the opportunity to engage directly with Connecticut lawmakers and regulatory officials. This annual event allows pest management professionals to share firsthand insight into the challenges and responsibilities of operating in the field.

During Legislative Day, members meet with elected officials to discuss proposed legislation, regulatory concerns, and industry priorities. These conversations help ensure policymakers understand how pest control laws and regulations affect public health, businesses, and consumers across the state.
