Legislation
Who: No one, because SB 73 of 2026 died in committee and did not become law. It would have applied to Connecticut taxpayers who buy a gun safe for personal use.●Reviewed Oct 28, 2026

What the Bill Would Do

Senate Bill 00073 proposed to establish a nonrefundable personal income tax credit of up to $150 for the purchase of a gun safe for personal use[1]. Connecticut already has a safe storage law (Ethan's Law, CGS 29-37i) that requires firearms on premises under a person's control to be kept in a securely locked box or other container or in a manner a reasonable person would believe to be secure, unless carried on the person or kept close enough to be readily retrieved and used as if carried.

Current Status

SB00073 was referred to the Joint Committee on Finance, Revenue and Bonding on February 4, 2026[2]. The bill history lists no action after that referral. The 2026 regular session adjourned on May 6, 2026, so the bill died in committee and did not become law.
