CAPITOL POLICE-PARKING REGULATIONS

Limited parking facilities make it impossible to guarantee parking for members of the public attending meetings and functions at the Capitol and LOB. Parking in the garage for the public is on a space-available basis only. During the legislative session, Capitol Police officers greet visitors and direct them to available parking spaces reserved for members of the public.

Cars parked in inappropriate areas will be ticketed, and vehicles that present a hazard to public safety will be towed.

There is no parking allowed in the cut out area in front of the LOB. This is a fire lane for emergency vehicles and is also used as a discharge area for students visiting the Capitol. Please do not park in this area even if you are “just running into the building for a minute. ” The 15 minute parking is located on the south side of Armory Road Extension (in front of the Armory park side).

The south and west areas of the Capitol are for reserved parking and for vehicles with a Capitol grounds permit. A section of the north driveway is reserved for public parking only. Signs clearly identify where the public parking ends and the permit parking begins. Parking regulations will be enforced. Call the Capitol Police at 240-0240 for further information.

VISITOR PARKING

Capitol Police direct visitors to the first floor of the Legislative Office Garage. When this area fills, visitors are directed to other available areas of the parking garage. Once all public parking is at capacity, additional visitors are provided with a map to the Forest Street lot and a list of shuttle times from there to the Capitol complex and back. Forest Street shuttle buses for visitors begin running to the LOB at 8: 00 A. M. The Forest Street lot closes at 6: 00 P. M. , and the last shuttle leaves the west side of the LOB at 5: 00 P. M. (Monday – Thursday). Shuttle service is provided by DPW on Fridays. The Friday shuttle pick-up and drop off location is at 450 Capitol Avenue from 6: 25 A. M. to 6: 00 P. M. Shuttle schedules can be picked up at the west entrance of the LOB.

REMINDER – NO CLIENT LOBBYIST $ $ DURING THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION

The State Elections Enforcement Commission reminds all concerned individuals of the ban on the solicitation and donation of political campaign contributions by registered client lobbyists and their affiliated political action committees ( PACs). There have been revisions to the laws and are now two different bans that apply to such solicitations and donations: (1) a temporary ban while the General Assembly is in session that applies to all individuals or entities that are registered with the Office of State Ethics as a “client lobbyist,” and PACs established by or on behalf of client lobbyists and (2) a permanent (year round) ban that applies to all individuals or entities registered as a “communicator lobbyist,” their immediate family members and PACs established or controlled by communicator lobbyists or members of their immediate family. The permanent ban applies whether or not you intend to participate in the Citizens' Election Program for the 2010 election campaign. Accordingly you may not solicit or accept contributions from a communicator lobbyist, member of the immediate family of any such lobbyist, or PAC established or controlled by any such lobbyist or family member. Again, the Office of State Ethics maintains a listing of all communicator lobbyists.

The temporary ban begins from the time the General Assembly convenes in regular session on February 3, 2010 and continues until adjournment sine die on May 5, 2010 and also applies during any special session occurring between the adjournment of the 2009 session and the convening of the regular session. Candidates for (1) Statewide office, (2) General Assembly and (3) political committees that failed to certify that they were “not established (a) for an assembly or senatorial district, (b) by an elected statewide official, a member of the General Assembly or their agent, or (c) in consultation with or at the request or suggestion of any such official, member or their agent, or controlled by such official, member or agent,” are prohibited from receiving such donations or benefiting from such solicitations during the session. See Sections 1-91(l), (u) and (v), General Statutes, for the definition of “lobbyist,” “client lobbyist” and “communicator lobbyist; ” and Section 9-610(e), (h) and (i), General Statutes, for the application of the bans.

The State Elections Enforcement Commission has provided to the President Pro Tempore of the Senate, the Speaker of the House, the Senate Minority Leader, the House Republican Leader, and each Statewide officer, a copy of its updated list of “Political Committees Established by or on behalf of a Client Lobbyist” as well as an updated “Prohibited Recipients List of Political Committees. ” Copies of these lists are available to each legislator from these leaders as well as by accessing the Commission's website located at www. ct. gov/seec/site/. Any questions concerning application of the lobbyist contribution bans or any other provision of the State's campaign financing laws should be directed to the Commission at 860-256-2940, Legal Compliance Unit, or toll free outside of the Hartford local calling area at: 1-866-733-2463.

Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
