🚨 CONNECTICUT BUSINESS ALERT 🚨
A bill moving in Connecticut, SB 452, would ban the sale of helium used to fill lighter-than-air balloons, which could effectively function as a statewide ban on helium-filled balloon sales.
Public hearing: Friday at 11:00 AM ET
This proposal could impact businesses including:
• Party stores
• Balloon artists
• Event professionals
• Florists and gift shops
It could also shift purchases to neighboring states or online, hurting Connecticut businesses without addressing responsible use and disposal.
