In coming to the contrary conclusion, the trial court expressed its doubt that the legislature was familiar with the federal requirements governing the section 8 program. Echoing the trial court’s concern, the defendant argues that the legislature ordinarily is presumed to have knowledge only of its own existing statutes, not other directives. See, e.g., Stern v. Allied Van Lines, Inc., 246 Conn. 170, 180, 717 A.2d 195 (1998); but see *780Kellems v. Brown, 163 Conn. 478, 514-16, 313 A.2d 53 (1972), appeal dismissed, 409 U.S. 1099, 93 S. Ct. 911, 34 L. Ed. 2d 678 (1973) (presuming General Assembly’s familiarity with tax commissioner’s definition of “net gain” and with federal regulations and practice in area of income tax).
