Klarides-Ditria: General Assembly to conduct most business virtually

I just wanted you to know that due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Legislative Office Building and Capitol are closed until further notice. In the meantime, representatives and senators will conduct most business virtually. You can watch livestreams of committee meetings, and there will be opportunities to participate in public hearings using Zoom. In order to make it easier to find all the information you need in one place, the House Republican Caucus created an online virtual meeting guide with information, resources and links to help you follow what's happening in the General Assembly. The guide also includes instructions on how to participate in a Zoom meeting, a calendar of events, access to legislative committee pages, bill tracking, and more. The page will be updated throughout the session as new information and technological options become available. For more information, and to access the virtual meeting guide, please click here.

Every year, as the legislative session begins, the non-partisan Office of Legislative Research (OLR) publishes a report on the major issues that could be taken up by the legislature. OLR provides brief descriptions on several topics, including but not limited to issues impacting: seniors the state budget education funding business programs and regulation public utilities, and much more This report, and reports from past years, can be found on the OLR website. You may notice that some of these items may affect you.  While I try to keep you informed on many issues, the legislature has some great resources on its website - www.cga.ct.gov - on various bills being considered, as well as bills that have passed. This website is handy if you're interested in testifying for or against a bill, or just want to stay up-to-date on pending legislation.

Sincerely,
