Governor Lamont signs 84th executive order to mitigate the spread of COVID-19

Governor Lamont today signed another executive order – the 84th since he enacted the emergency declarations – that builds upon his efforts to encourage mitigation strategies that slow down transmission of the virus. Executive Order No. 9P enacts the following provisions:

  • Increase in weekly benefit amount and qualification for Lost Wages Assistance: Expands eligibility for Connecticut residents in the federal Lost Wages Assistance program, enabling those who previously did not meet the eligibility requirements to receive $100 in weekly unemployment benefits that would make them eligible.
  • Remote licensing examination for subsurface sewage disposal system cleaner and installer: Modifies certain state statutes to permit the Department of Public Health to hold only two of the four required licensing examinations for subsurface sewage disposal system cleaner and installers, and to conduct examinations remotely.
