Connecticut House Democrats are dedicated to fighting for those who fought for our country. During the 2021 legislative session, House Democrats have introduced and passed a number of bills which focus on supporting veterans and active members of the military, as well as their families.

Starting tomorrow, May 19, 2021, new safety protocols concerning face masks will be implemented in Connecticut following updated recommendations from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The CDC has released new guidance for fully vaccinated individuals.

With summer just around the corner, Governor Lamont announced great news for the children and families of Connecticut. Connecticut residents ages 12 through 15 are now eligible to receive the Pfizer vaccine.

"Connecticut passed the nation's first "Red Flag" law in the wake of the Connecticut Lottery mass shooting, and the bill established a legal procedure for the removal of firearms from a volatile situation. While the measure has helped to prevent hundreds of unnecessary deaths, there are clear vulnerabilities in the existing statute."

Today, the Judiciary Committee voted to move forward SB 888. While this proposal remains a work in progress, it does represent a substantial amount of work by the Committee on the criminal justice and equitability provisions of the bill.

Vaccine eligibility will expand to the 55-64 age group beginning on March 1 and dedicated clinics for educators and childcare providers will also begin in March.

In response to the horrific insurrection at the U.S. Capitol January 6, State Representative Steve Stafstrom (D - Bridgeport) has introduced legislation updating Connecticut’s statute prohibiting interference with the operations of the Connecticut General Assembly and legislative process.
