Connecticut’s license renewal fees are insanely high, and a new proposal is looking to cap costs. According to a recent report, physicians in New York and Massachusetts must pay $600 every two years to renew their licenses. However, here in Connecticut, physicians and surgeons pay $575 annually or $1,150 every two years. Right now, 83 professions in our state require these astronomical costs and one Senator is looking to fix it permanently. Senator Ryan Fazio of the 36th District (Greenwich, Stamford, parts of New Canaan) shares the three bills he has presented this session, why there is bi-partisan support and why he’s hopeful something will pass!
