There are 93 new laws that will take effect July 1.

Among the major pieces of legislation is the expansion of special education programming; and a new endowment fund that in a few years is expected to provide free day care and pre-school for families earning less than $100,000.

Local election officials around the state will be required to have video surveillance of ballot boxes after the election scandals in Bridgeport.

One law that has been a problem for the last few years.

Communities with more than 20,000 residents can adopt an ordinance allowing for the destruction of vehicles seized during street takeovers after holding them for 30 days.

The towns must first make reasonable efforts to contact the owners of the vehicles and if the owner did not know the vehicle was used for such an event, that person has the right to collect the vehicle within 90 days.
