Ridgefield woman advocates for unique tax credit legislation

A Ridgefield woman is advocating for a bill in Connecticut that would grant a one-time $2500 tax credit to families after a stillbirth to put toward burial, genetic testing and mental health services.  Brittney Crystal testified before a legislative committee about the unexpected expenses, including $3,200 for a headstone.  Ridgefield state Representative Aimee Berger-Girvalo, who sponsored the bill, says the tax credit would cost the state just under half a million dollars a year.  Minnesota and Louisiana have a stillbirth child tax credit.  New York and New Jersey are considering similar legislation.
