 There are several new laws that took effect in Connecticut as of Monday, beginning of July. Among them, cities and towns can impose a $250 fine on drivers who illegally pass a stopped school bus with its lights flashing. Also, children must be at least five years old by September 1st of the year they start kindergarten. Social media platforms must delete accounts held by minors. And there's now a limit on how many absentee ballots a person can request. And cameras must be installed at absentee ballot drop boxes.
