Dear Neighbor,

A few pieces of legislation from the Aging Committee have passed through the House, including HB 6677, AN ACT CONCERNING ADULT DAY CENTERS. Families who are tasked with taking care of loved ones need a lifeline. HB 6677 will require the Department of Social Services to develop a plan that will increase the number of residents eligible to receive adult day services. 

The bill passed unanimously in the House last Thursday and now moves to the Senate.
Rep. Bolinsky, the ranking member of the Aging Committee and I discussed our legislative priorities and accomplishments for this session. Click the video below to learn more. 
 
 
Dr. Leo Igwe on Witchcraft Accusations

On Friday, Dr. Leo Igwe, a renowned Nigerian human rights activist, visited the Capitol to talk about the impact of witchcraft accusations in Nigeria. 

He discussed how religious extremists in Nigeria have coopted and used local government to enforce religious codes of law, hindering human rights advances. It was a pleasure to welcome Dr. Igwe to Connecticut!
