H.B. 5412, AN ACT NAMING THE TROOP K STATE POLICE BARRACKS IN COLCHESTER IN HONOR OF LINDA A. ORANGE.
State Representative Linda Orange was a talented legislator and a good friend to many on both sides of the aisle, and her loss is still felt today. As a longtime member of the Public Safety committee, Representative Orange worked tirelessly to ensure our State Police, and specifically Troop K, had the funding needed to keep the doors open and the dispatch center adequately staffed. Today, we honor her legacy by moving to name the Troop K State Police Barracks in her memory.

H.B. 6034, AN ACT CONCERNING PROJECT LONGEVITY.
Project Longevity offers communities with comprehensive, evidence-based resources to work together with state and local partners to reduce chronic violence. A number of Connecticut's cities and towns have seen success in this program, but HB 6034 would work to begin steps towards expanding the community-based solution to statewide priority.
