Abstract

This study finds that giving marriage rights to same-sex couples in Connecticut will have a positive impact on the state budget. The study estimates that the state would save at least $3 million per year and as much as $13 million if same-sex couples could marry. Civil unions will result in more than $2 million per year in savings.
