Connecticut consumers with old gift cards worth less than $1 may soon be able to get the cash.  The House on Saturday voted 105 to 32 in favor of a bill that allows consumers to have the retailer cash in their cards with small remaining balances, with certain exceptions.  Newtown Representative Mitch Bolinsky voted for the bill while New Milford Representative Cecilia Buck-Taylor was among those opposed to it. 

Representatives Dan Carter of Bethel, John Shaban of Redding and Richard Smith of New Fairfield were also among the handful of 'no' votes.

Danbury Representatives Bob Godfrey, David Arconti and Jan Giegler along with DebraLee Hovey of Monroe, John Frey of Ridgefield and David Scribner of Brookfield voted for the bill.

The bill now moves to the Senate for further action.
